On March 28, 2026, the air at the Bali International Convention Centre (BICC) was filled with a powerful sense of achievement as Bali WISE celebrated the graduation of Intake 63. Hosted in the stunning Medan Ballroom at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, the ceremony was a beautiful testament to the resilience and hard work of these young women.
The event opened with a captivating Kebyar Duduk dance performed by Unik from Intake 64, setting a traditional and celebratory tone. This was followed by heartfelt opening remarks from Mr. Handoko Rama, COO of R.O.L.E. Foundation, and Mr. Ida Bagus Nyoman Ardana, Executive Assistant Manager of The Westin Resort Nusa Dua.
A Token of Shared Gratitude
The partnership between Bali WISE and the hospitality industry is the backbone of our success. To honor this, the graduates presented a unique custom-painted canvas to Mr. Ardana. Covered in personal thank-you notes from the students, the gift served as a sincere acknowledgment of The Westin’s unwavering support in providing a world-class venue for this milestone.
Voices of Empowerment
One of the most emotional moments of the day was the performance of the Bali WISE anthem, “I Know the Longer Way,” by the students of Intake 64. Their voices resonated deeply, echoing the struggles and triumphs of women everywhere who fight for the right to education and professional skills.
Celebrating Excellence
We are especially proud to recognize Ms. Gloria as the Best Student of Intake 63. Presented by Ms. Dentia Mayasari (Food & Beverage Products Instructor), this award honors Gloria’s academic excellence, her leadership within the classroom, and her genuine spirit in supporting her peers throughout their journey.
An Electrifying Finale
To bring the ceremony to a high-energy close, the room was electrified by a Creative Pop Dance performance by Claudya, Kala, Milla, and Nanda from Intake 64. Their vibrant energy echoed throughout the ballroom, providing a fun, modern, and engaging finale to an unforgettable day.
Real Results, Real Impact
The true success of the program is reflected in our numbers: 16 students (59% of the class) secured full-time employment before graduation day. This achievement would not be possible without our dedicated instructors, education partners, and the generous support of our donors. Together, we are doing more than just teaching skills—we are breaking the cycle of poverty and lighting a path toward a brighter, independent future for women in Indonesia.
