When the holidays ended and everybody returned from their travels to home countries and the world in general, a few karawaci ladies put their heads together and planned. We'd booked the hotel before the holidays, but all the rest had to be done after that. We sent out letters requesting sponsorship and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the majority of businesses and individuals responded. We ended up with about 75 raffle prizes, which means that there was one for 75% of the crowd.


our friend Joel grew his facial hair for a few days and shaved it to match his wonderful glasses (still not sure where he found those here in Lippo).

In the end, we raised about US$1850 to put towards our education fund (a new concept for Karawaci Ladies. Normally we raise for medical purposes, but those are much bigger amounts needed). Ultimately, regardless of the money raised and the raffle prizes won, I think it was a great opportunity for people in the Lippo area to meet and play together. We had a great mix of guests from our local school, university, businesspeople, Royal Doulton, a 'competitor' school outside of Lippo, an SPH branch school in Jakarta and some who I have no idea where they came from but who we were quite happy to have join us.
All in all, it was a good evening.
Thanks for reading.
