The White Party!
Eliza and Megan arrived at Jones the Grocer this morning full of energy and enthusiasm for throwing a fantastic fundraising party for East Timor. They thought the idea of the Lequeracabu’u School was great. Eliza has volunteered her and Damian’s house as a venue – Damian’s only condition being that any party had to have a white theme (he is a man who likes things to look good ) And so the White Party was born.
Nick, another friend in Dubai is also very keen to help and we’ve set a date of May 6 – as late as we can push it we think with the desert summer heating up very quickly. Within an hour Eliza and Megan had the bones of the party sorted out – I’m to sort out details of the project and a supporting letter from Kirsty, Megan is to get a great invite designed and we will send the invite out!

A happy co-incidence
Simon sent me a quote yesterday to build the semi-permanent school at Lequeracabu’u. Agostinho has taken on the project with a passion and has obtained a quote for $ US15, 000 for a contractor to build the school.
In the meantime, with the worst wet season in almost 10 years, roads are still impassable and Simon hasn’t been able to get out to look at other likely sites.
This morning, one of my good friends Eliza, who lives in Dubai, called to say that she and another friend Megan had decided they’d like to arrange a fund raising party for East Timor. It seemed like a perfect match to me – a project with an achievable target and a party which could raise a lot of money. We’re meeting up next week to talk about it, but it is sounding fabulous.
