Vaseline Works!

 

For some reason,

I don’t have a special

or a crazy day to celebrate today.

Shock!

Horror!

Incredible as it may seem…

it’s the truth.

So, I could just let the day

sneak quietly past, h

oping no one notices…

But, no. 

I decided I’d check back in

with the Bali Boys

and see whether the mountains

of Vaseline jars are actually

making a difference

to the lives of the boys.

 

 

You might remember,

not long ago,

I posted about Komang and Gede

 – village boys who have to suffer,

each day,

from an uncomfortable skin condition.

The claim was that Vaseline

would be the amazing cure

the boys needed…

only, Vaseline is not sold

in Indonesia!

So, a request was made –

for travellers to bring Vaseline

for the boys…

and soon enough,

truck loads of Vaseline

were being delivered.

 (Way to go!)

The kids are receiving the Vaseline,

 which their mothers apply…

and they are looking much better.

 It’s amazing,

what the kindness of strangers

can achieve – and the difference

it can make in people’s lives!

All reports confirm the lives

of the boys have improved considerably.

They are more alert…

Komang’s eyesight has improved

and the boys are happier…

because of Vaseline!
