About Me

Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

Thailand fund raiser


Saturday afternoon saw me and some close friends making cards.

It was at a fund raising event for an orphanage in Thailand. The cards were not actually for Thailand, we were allowed to keep those we made. We simply paid for the privilege of learning how to make them. The money we paid together with raffle ticket money and the demonstrator's commission from any sales of goods will all go directly to help build a much needed orphanage.

Hats off to the organisers for arranging events such as this. There are such generous people in this world, prepared not only to give their money, but willing to spend hours organising and following up long after the actual fund raiser is over.
