'Recovery Tour' to help Bali children

JAKARTA: A charity program called The Bali Recovery Tour will
be held next month, with the goal of raising money to help pay
for the education of the children of Bali bombing victims and
restoring the image of the island as a tourist destination, an
event organizer said on Monday.

PT East West said in a statement the program would collect
some 5 percent of each participant's airfare and hotel charges
and give the money to the Ministry of National Education.

"This money belongs to the children of the victims," Rob
Doddemeade, the company's director, said.

The company said the program would run from Dec. 28 to Jan. 3,
while the booking had started on Nov. 18.

Participants of the program are required to book their tickets
through authorized travel agents, including Performa tours, Vaya
Tour, Marintur and Pan Travel. --JP
