Gede and Ani are brother & sister. They come from a very poor family in north Bali. Their father cheated on their mum with another woman, which left her without finance to keep the family provided for. Their mum had to find a job, which was just enough to pay for their food. She can’t afford to put the children into school and many times the father comes to their house to get the money from their mother, abusing her and the children physically and verbally. Gede has grown up with the knowledge that taking someone else’s stuff is fine and not wrong at all. His father taught him that stealing and lying are not wrong. Gede was 7 years old and Ani was 3 when they were given up to Bali Life. They have changed so much and now they always pray for their parents. Gede is in Grade 3 and Ani is in kindergarten. They love school. Ani wants to be a doctor one day and loves drawing; Gede is good with his hands and loves helping others doing physical work such as farming, washing, and gardening.
