 Cyclone Nargis was a strong tropical cyclone that caused the worst natural disaster in the recorded history of Burma(officially known as Myanmar). The cyclone made landfall in the country on May 2 2008, causing catastrophic destruction and at least 90,000 fatalities with a further 56,000 people still missing. Nargis is the deadliest named cyclone in the North Indian Ocean Basin, as well as the second deadliest named cyclone of all time.

Through our School Room Program, Room to Read partners with local communities to build several types of schools to meet the specific needs of each village and culture. Central to all of our school constructions is our Challenge Grant model. We approach our partnerships in every locale with an understanding that the people involved have the best solutions. Communities apply to Room to Read for assistance with constructing a school. Our program requires local investment and involvement.

Last night was the first joint Hopetees and Dialog sample sale that made for a chic bohemian party. By 8pm the place was so heaving, people could not get in.... So the party continued outside. The Brunch Club's open french doors and ambiance of home comfort, along with delicious canapes and wines made for a great atmosphere of browsing, catching up with friends and hanging out.

Interestingly, South China Morning Post had freatured that very day a one page article on (non)progress of rebuilding in Nias, 3 years after the 8.7M quake. Good thing we are still raising funds for that particular island with one mens and one ladies design. The Quiksilver sponsored versions sold out a long time ago...moneys delivered and spent on agricultural projects on the island.

Thank you to Lilian of the Brunch Club and all our loyal customers!

Join us on Wednesday 9 April from 19:30 at the new Brunch Club in Causeway Bayand get yourself a Hopetee or one of Dialog's trendy handbags, now selling worldwide! Wine and Brunch Club's tasty snacks on the house.....

This Christmas I (cassandra) will be travelling to Kontum, Vietnam again, this time with Ashley and Jessie. There are many villages in this central highlands area (where the people are still called Montagnards) finding it hard to make ends meet, so orphanages also house kids whose parents feel they are better off there.

Website of the Vinh Son orphanages of Kontum: www.friendsofvso.org  we will be spending the most time at VS3 and VS 4 which does not have a proper water supply.

See album for pics from last year. We want to bring more foam floor tiles, games stuff, stickers and lots of sparkly hair slides, specially requested by the girls...

If you want to contribute, we are still selling the Ai Tam Tshirts, edition 3, you can buy one for yourself, or for a kid. Just get in touch. cpostema@gmail.com

(pic shows the kids as angels as part of the town's Christmas production at the wooden cathedral. Orphanage Vinh Son 1 is behind it. Village crowds camped out all day not to miss it!)

The CEO foundation believes the best environment for children is amidst the love of parents in families . However good some institutional shelters like orphanages may be, children are better nurtured in a family environment in order for them to flourish and grow. CEO is currently appointed as the foster care placement department, within Luoyang Children Welfare Institute (a total of approximately 600 disabled orphans so far). They also provide ongoing foster family counselling services.

Their vision is also to launch a teen project aiming at character building and vocational training. Implementing a home based rehabilitation training programme.
