Big props to my friend Jess Neff, an NYC stylist to the stars and jewelry designer that could easily slide into the glamorous routine of openings, parties, and fashion shows with nary a thought about the non-Manhattan world, but, on a recent trip to Bali, fell in love with the country and has dedicated an incredible amount of time and energy to raising money for schoolchildren there. Way to go, Jess.
As you may know, I am currently in Bali volunteering at a school for impoverished kids that cannot otherwise afford to attend high school, which is not free in Indonesia. We recently ran a fundraiser in New York City, and with great success...$5500.00 !!! (Thank you to our wonderful Donors!!!!). However, we are still short of our goal of $10,000. Since arriving to Ubud, Bali, I have been able to meet with the head of the school and my American liaison, Rucina Ballinger, to discuss the school's needs. The school has doubled in size since last year, and so much is desperately needed!!!! Books, computers, school supplies, uniforms, teaching aids (maps, supplies, dictionaries, etc), and dormitory supplies, just to get started....
Soooo.....if you couldn't make it to the Books for Bali Sample Sale for Charity, and would still like to contribute, please log onto our website www.booksforbali.org !!!!
