Novica Happy Red Santa, Wood ornaments
Description
Santa Claus makes a happy appearance as ornaments from Bali. Wayan Cidra, from Bhakti Senang Hati, crafts and paints each albesia wood ornament by hand. The set of four ornaments hangs from golden cords. "I'm the youngest of five siblings and our parents are farmers in Gianyar. I never went to school because of my parent's financial limitations, and also because I got poliomyelitis when I was just a child and it left me with weakened knees. I wanted to help my parents in some way, so I have been crafting ornaments since I was 14 years old. I felt so proud to myself when I received my very first income. Although I'm not really happy with my physical condition, I'm happy doing ornaments and hopefully my products can make more people happy. My hobby is singing traditional Balinese songs. I'm married and we have a son and a daughter. My wife is the one who helps me in making these ornaments, which I hope makes people's Christmas happier."" Product Features Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly Product Dimension: 3.5"" H x 2.8"" W x 0.2"" D Product Weight: 0.044 Material: Albesia wood Color: Red Country of Origin: Indonesia Story behind the art:Bhakti Senang Hati was founded and is run by people with physical challenges who provide a special service for the physical challenged in Bali. Non-profit organizations are important in Indonesia, as government funding for people with handicaps is limited. Bhakti Senang Hati assists people living with disabilities. Without assistance from the private sector, many Balinese people wih disabilities, including children, remain marginalized, thus limited from benefiting or contributing to society. In many parts of Indonesia, and certainly in Hindu Bali, having a disabled child is considered evidence of bad karma. The majority of the Balinese people are Hindu. To be born with or to have a physical challenge is perceived as black magic, bad karma for the individual and/or their family. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
