My name is Aron and I run sun and sage ethical vegan clothing. It links to supporting animals here, especially the street animals in Bali making sure that I can give them medication and save them from a poor life. My idea is to bring everything full circle. When somebody buys a product to know firstly how the products made and that they are made in an ethical way and second it also helps to rescue animal in Bali.

I am not all about veganism. I try to live so that everything I do leaves a positive impact on the planet. From my day job to what I do in my spare time. In my day job working with charities to give a little bit back to Bali. Making sure that children have access to education, especially children from poor background. I don’t want them to get stuck on that cycle.

Coming to Bali was the big eye-opener for me where I was able to change how I live a little bit with my work and my spare time to try to become a better person for the animals and the planet.

I Grew up in Papua New Guinea. I went to live in Australia, Brisbane. I worked for an airline in marketing. Then I worked with languages in a university. After that I got cancer and my relationship wasn’t going very well. So I took a time off and came to Ubud. Initially I took a sabbatical but then I realized I wanted to stay in Ubud longer so I resigned from my job.

While I was in Ubud, I was already pickup cats, kittens, and dogs from the street. I was helping at BAWA. Then we set up a cat section in BAWA. Then it had grown so large so quick. That is how Villa Kitty started. It is a sanctuary. It is a shelter. Here, we must be so careful that the way we clean is hospital grade due to preventing all sorts of viruses, diseases, and skin problems.

I am a vegan and I believe humans could live alongside animals if we could stop being so egotistical for a second. I am trying to change the attitude towards animal and just try to be kinder to all living being.
