Our fundraising has been going along amazingly well thanks to all our super generous friends and families, we feel totally humbled by how you've supported us, thank you so much!!!
So to supplement our fundraising we arranged a Girls Movie Night at Cremorne Orpheum on a cold, rainy Thursday night, and even though our guests were falling thick and fast to sickness, late husbands and Grey's Anatomy-ness or Master Chef-ness, 50 fabulous women joined us for champagne, nibblies, lolly bags and an easy chick flick "My Life In Ruins". This was essentially Mia's "baby" and she did a stunning job with hosting and nibblies. Thanks to those who attended (and those who made very kind online donations from their sickbeds) we raised $660. To make this number more real to you... this will help provide;
1. Materials to build a public well in Sri Lanka, providing fresh water for 20-30 families
2. Training for a volunteer literacy educator to run adult literacy classes in Cambodia
3. Pay for an entire Laotian village to be trained in pig raising
4. Provide training to a group of peer educators who can educate South African school children about HIV/AIDS
Awesome, thank you soooooo much. And of course, being super organised, I took my camera along for those A-List celeb shots to put along with this post, but nup, totally forgot to take photos of beautiful people or beuatiful food, so what you see above are "prop" shots of the info board and the leftover lolly bags taken at home today, just to give you a flavour of the night. Just visualise instead.
