Yolenta was born and grew up in Flores. She has 4 siblings; her older brother goes to college, two of her younger siblings attend school, and the youngest one still goes to kindergarten. Her parents are farmers with an income of around IDR 1.000.000 (approx. USD 76) per month. In secondary school, Yolenta won the third place in an English Speech contest. After she graduated from high school, Yolenta started searching for scholarships because her family could not send her to school any longer. From one of her high school teachers she heard about Bali WISE and decided to apply. Yolenta has a passion for tourism and wants to improve her English skills. She believes in getting good opportunties in the future and we are happy to have her as part of Bali WISE since October 2017.

Deana was born and grew up in Cileunyi close to Bandung, West Java. After graduating from senior high school, Deana wanted to go to university, but her parents were not able to financially support her. Her father’s monthly income was around IDR 2,000,000 (approx. USD 152) but since her parents got divorced, her father is jobless and Deana lives with her grandmother. She has been working as part-time admin in Butik Aprilia, but her salary was not enough. So she decided to quit and joined Bali WISE instead, because she believes that she can do better.

Ersi is from Majalengka, West Java, and the oldest child of three. Her sisters are 9 and 5 years old. Her father is working as a butcher with an income of IDR 1.500.000 per month (approx. USD 110), her mother is a housewife. In high school, Ersi joined Sains Olimpiade and belonged to the top 10 students of her school. After finishing high school, she was looking for a scholarship because she did not want to rely on her parents’ money any longer but finance her further education independently. She got to know Bali WISE  in the internet. The quite short program duration of six months and the focus on hospitality were very appealing, so she gave it a try. After passing a few screening tests, she got accepted and is now giving her best to succeed.

Eunike is the last child of three siblings. After her father passed away in 2015, only her mother worked to gain an income for the family. As a farmer, she only makes IDR 300,000 per month (approx. USD 22) and can barely cover the daily costs of life. Eunike’s wish to get further education remained unfulfilled – until she decided to join Bali WISE! We wish her all the best.
