Sahaja Gempita Vol. 2: Celebrating Sahaja Bali Foundation's 2nd Anniversary
On Sunday, April 27, 2025, the Sahaja Bali Foundation held a special event titled Sahaja Gempita Vol. 2: Young Hearts for Elderly Smiles, in celebration of its second anniversary. Held at Graha Prodia, Jl. Raya Puputan, Renon, the event was attended by enthusiastic volunteers and elder members of the Sahaja community.
Upon arrival, the older participants first registered, followed by routine health checks including blood sugar and blood pressure measurements, as part of the Foundation’s ongoing health monitoring efforts.
The official program began with a morning exercise session led by the Indonesian Healthy Bones Association (Perwatusi) Bali team. Accompanied by upbeat music, both older participants and volunteers moved with spirit and energy, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere right from the start.
Following the workout, the event continued with birthday celebration preparations. Participants were divided into small groups, each tasked with a fun challenge: decorating a birthday cake, arranging flower bouquets, and creating balloon decorations to enhance the venue. The atmosphere became vibrant—filled with collaboration, creativity, and warmth. More than just about the decorations, this moment served to strengthen the bond between younger and older generations, fostering genuine togetherness.
Once all preparations were complete, the best group was selected based on teamwork, creativity, and enthusiasm, and awarded a special prize. The joyful and proud faces of participants made the celebration even more memorable.
The event peaked with a candle-blowing and tumpeng (traditional rice cone) cutting ceremony, symbolizing gratitude for Sahaja’s two-year journey. Everyone then enjoyed a meal together in a relaxed setting, followed by a meaningful video presentation showcasing Sahaja’s journey, and a cheerful karaoke session.
We extend our deepest thanks to the teams from Prodia, Kalbe, and Fitology Fitness for their support and contributions, which helped make this event a great success.
Sahaja Gempita Vol. 2 was more than just a birthday celebration—it was a moment to celebrate connection, to strengthen the bonds of the Sahaja extended family, and to nurture a spirit of compassion in support of the well-being of older people in the community.
Happy 2nd Anniversary, Sahaja Bali Foundation! May the spirit of service, love, and unity continue to grow, inspire more hearts, and bring positive change to many lives.
