YemaYa production response for chained people in Bali

Over 7000 people in Bali suffer from serious chronic mental illnesses, but are not reported (and naturally not treated). For various reasons, financial, social, political, educational, or simply shame, their families have been reluctant to seek help, while the few who did never received any. Therefore, as a last resort, these families may either abandon their mentally ill relatives in the jungle (hoping they will die or just forever disappear) or keep them under restraints, chained or inside makeshift cages.

“We feel Professor Luh Ketut Suryani’s work in community is indispensable and hugely important, we think it helps to improve the human rights of mentally ill patients, which is urgently needed all over the world”, said Laurent Delhomme as the editor and producer at YemaYa production that produced and distributed numerous films on French and international channels during his visit with Professor Suryani to community.

Calling elementary teachers for Balinese quality children

The education still tends to focus on basic academic learning and socialization skills, introducing children to the broad range of knowledge, skill and behavioral adjustment they need to succeed in life – and, particularly, in secondary school. Unfortunately this noble purpose of primary education has been raped by their own teachers that want to produce only smart children but mentally unhealthy.

“Most teachers prefer to discriminate their own pupil in the name of success without concern for their longer term”, said Professor Luh Ketut Suryani as the founder of Suryani Institute in front of 400 elementary teachers in Tabanan regency.
