Leaving Saturday

[Roses]

Hello everyone on this most interesting forum. I am leaving Australia with my other half on Saturday for 3weeks in Bali, went to your beautiful island for the first time last year, and absolutely loved the feel of the place. Whilst there met some very interesting people including a lovely man who has started a school in Legian. Siswah Indah Prima School. Sweezie and I decided to try and raise a few $ for them as it's all run by donation. We are very much looking forward to seeing the kids and delivering the dosh. I am sure it will be put to good use. Bert, we are even staying at your reccommended hotel whilst there. I suppose I am like many people in that I often browse this forum, but this is my first post. We will have a very busy few weeks as we are hoping to find a suitable garment manufacturer or aspiring patternmaker designer to make up some sample garments for us. Who knows we might even bump into someone who posts on this forum.

Roses. (don't forget to smell them)

Selemat Datang Mawar !!

Yes, many lurk, but few are posting, but still enough to keep the lurkers coming back :)

For those who want to know more about the school in Legian:

Huh? What did I miss here? A Legian based charity when the greatest need is in east Bali, the north and west?

I will never fault any charity, but the images of some women I know, coming off their plane to Bali, dressed in their Talbot's best, and carrying 10 kilo bags of "kibbles and bits" for the Bali doggies just dosen't seem to escape my memory. :shock:

Hi Roy
I allready sponser a family on the east , a family of 5.
I think kids are the Bali future, so must help as many as possible,I think the kids in Ash will be from all over Bali ?won't they ?
They are at the Salovs.
I hope you don't put me in the "women dressed in their Talbot's best...
As I don't own any of that sort of stuff. :shock:
If more is needed up north, east & west let people no how to do it, give names of places to go, what to take, most will help if you tell them how to
