Enter...the Portugese...
In fundraising news:
We expanded the pub quiz and now do two a month – 1 at Aussie Pub Kamala and one at Sugar Reef, Cherntalay. Prizes have included Massages, Blu Ray players, Brunches at Paresa, Haircuts, Brunches at Rockfish, free Scuba Dives and Lady Pie Pies …as well as the coveted gag prizes! You are welcome to bring a team along to challenge for the title of “Phuket’s Most Smartest”. Pub Quizzes now run on the last Monday of every month in Kamala and second Thursday of the month in Cherntalay, 7pm registration! All welcome!!!
Such a poser!
Clare
hosted her first ever Phuket Has Been Good To Us Bingo night in Shanghai, China
and raised around 28,000 Baht. Brilliant,
right! Anyone who wants to run an event to help raise funds for the Foundation
is welcome to contact me and I can help you organize a fun event! All funds go directly to facilitating the
teaching of free English classes to local children.
Our new, shiny
brochure was completed this month – True Blue Ozzie donor, Phil, paid for the
printing and hand delivered them. We
have already seen results from having new and improved marketing materials, all
thanks to Hayley’s blood sweat and (often) tears!
This
month we tried to get a few new Coconut Club activities off the ground, so:
Surfing
lessons started and ended…until next term…
Almost
FAMOUS – Phuket’s Ultimate Underage Social, took place at FAMOUS nightclub. A great time was had by all the participants
– DJ Tom the Tank kept the partygoers dancing and Outrigger Asia Pacific made
sure no one starved!
The
lovely Khun Taan from Gloss Nails in Cherntalay, came to Coconut Club and gave
interested girls lessons in how to be a Nail technician. In my mind, these types of activities are
invaluable – they allow our children to gain experience in jobs for when they
leave school.
So we
have been very busy beavers recently…hooray for school holidays and brief
reprieves! See you all soon!
Great blog your journey is beautiful. Admire the attitude to charity.
