Recently given the Yak award for outstanding humanitarian work in Bali.

A 15 minute film of stories that he told about selected children and their various health challenges of the most extreme type and also showing the growth of his organisation from its humble roots was profoundly moving.
The sole teddy went to Vlad who started the bidding at $50. Vlad then put in the second bid with the action hotting up. He then put in the final bid for $100, Beating his own bid by $50.
