$25K RAISED FOR BUMI SEHAT NATURAL BIRTHING CLINIC

Michael Franti and Indonesia’s favorite singer Oppie Andaresta performed on March 1st to an sell out crowd - a spectacularly successful pre-festival opening for the Bali Spirit Festival 2008.
 
More than 75% of ticket revenue – $25k – goes to a new birthing clinic for Bali’s Bumi Sehat Foundation, which supports pregnant and nursing mothers in Bali and Aceh.
 
Franti flew from USA for the event, at Gado Gado in Seminyak, launching the first Bali Spirit Festival of Yoga, Dance and Music. The Indie singer, who has sung for projects as far apart as South America and the Middle East, says he receives more than he gives at these events.
 
“When I offer my heart of help Bumi Sehat, it enriches my life and inspires my music. This concert was the perfect start for decades of Bali Spirit festivals to come,” Franti said.
