City2Sunrise Fundraiser -19 November
November 3, 2009
4 blokes – 4 bikes – for charity – www.city2sunrise.org
Zulu is supporting Vickianne Lane – another dedicated supporter of Sunrise Children’s Villages in Cambodia. Vickianne and her mates e are putting on a fundraiser: 19 November at the Quarryman’s Hotel in Pyrmont ( Sydney)
ABOUT THIS ADVENTURE ( from Vickianne)
Back in 2005 a mate had enough foresight to plan his ‘mid life crisis’ for 2010! As a guest at a dinner for the kids of Sunrise Children’s Villages, he was moved by the spirit of the kids, most of whose tragic circumstances were betrayed by their smiles and sense of hope. He enlisted 3 mates, all Dads themselves, to make their ‘crisis’ less about them and more about making the difference for kids who would never have the chances their own children will take for granted.
Here we are, nearly 2010 and the boys have come together to create ‘city2sunrise’ and they’re about to head off on the adventure of a lifetime
The aim: to raise money for the education of these kids so that they can make a difference in their own lives! To book your ticket head to the website www.city2sunrise.org and secure your spot. If you cant make it on the night, visit the site and make a donation to the boys journey and while you’re there have a look at the video of the boys with the some of the kids who visited Australia recently.

Hunting for the Liu Family Tree in Salamaua – PNG
November 3, 2009
One of the highlights of my October 2009 trip to PNG while working with new client KK Kingston in Lae was the opportunity to go back to the birth place of my father, aunts & uncles – Salamaua .
A sentimental journey – OH YES – and a very special opportunity.
Taking a day off ( a rare event for all of us), The Kingstons took me out on Tsunami to Salamaua – 45 min by boat from Lae.
It was a special moment, setting foot on the sands on the land where my father’s family come from. It is the quiet, tropical island paradise in your mind’s eye.
I can’t imagine what it was like in the 1930’s and before Japanese occupation and the evacuation of the area in 1942.
We walked through the village, meeting the local Salamauan’s enjoying a relaxing Sunday, and we also visited the cemetery. It has been so interesting to read up on my family history – and find out more about PNG and my connection to the country and the people.
Thanks to Keith and Michael for this very special day.
Two new Clients in PNG!

Cambodian Quilts help PNG People
November 3, 2009
I had quite a few quilts made by Women from New Hope For Cambodian Children and decided to take them up to PNG with me to be used – by people in need.
The ladies are all widows or abandoned wives, who are homeless, and have been sleeping at Pastor Bill Page’s Church until accommodation, could be found for them.
Say no more – just look at those happy faces.

A standing ovation for the Sunrise Performers at the Sydney Opera House
November 3, 2009
Like a proud, proud Aunty I sat with my friends in the best seats in the Sydney Opera House on 30 September to watch 29 young people from Sunrise Children’s Villages perform traditional music and dance for over 1000 people. They also sang a selection of songs that had the audience in tears and on their feet.
The kids had arrived only 2 days earlier from Cambodia and had spent a busy few days resting, doing publicity and rehearsing for this night of nights which saw them take the stage with the likes of Ray Martin, David Campbell, Casey Chambers and Jane Rutter.
What professionals! What a show!
The children were so excited and thrilled and truly performed their hearts out! There was such a feeling of warmth, support and love for these children – everyone who was there said it was a night like no other!
Among this group were my special two girls, Waew and Thy – and I was very privileged to spend quality time with them and their friends throughout their short stay.
Geraldine Cox and her team of volunteers –deserve the highest accolades as well. They are family to these very special children and worked extremely hard to make this show a reality for the children, and for us.
Zulu’s Candles for Community this Christmas will be raising money for Sunrise Children’s Villages in Cambodia
