July - October 2005



September / October 2005:
Container of donated medical equipment to Bali

The Foundation has purchased a 40ft high cube shipping container to transport donated medical equipment to Bali, as part of a partnership project with Ross's Auctions. The container will do a circular route - to Bali carrying medical equipment and return to Perth carrying Indonesian furniture to be sold through Ross's Auctions in Perth.


Part of the proceeds of the sale of the furniture will be donated to the Foundation to go towards the cost of shipping the next container.

The first trip for our container took place in September/October. The container was shipped to Surabaya and then trucked to a donated store in Bali, from where it will be distributed to government district hospitals.

The Foundation has received wonderful assistance from Mark Patterson (SeaTram), Brian Commons (HR Products), Ross Marshall (Ross's Auctions) and its dedicated team of equipment logistics volunteers in Perth, all of which has made this shipment possible.




October 2005:
I Can See Clearly Now

Spearheaded by Debe Campbell, Balinese PR firm, The Works, has undertaken a promotion for the Foundation's work in Bali, starting with a drive for collection of unwanted spectacles through local businesses. Iko, the Foundation's volunteer graphic computer designer, produced a wonderful poster, which was printed at no cost by Duta Esa Astuti Printing Jakarta. Many local businesses have offered to act as collection points for the donated glasses, which will be tested and sorted, new lenses inserted, and then distributed to needy patients by our field screening teams or through the Rumah Sakit Indera.

We are hopeful that, apart from collecting much needed spectacles for the poor of Bali, this campaign will raise local awareness of our humanitarian projects.
