Collection Point...

     Shop 9, Central Park Frankston (Vic). This is the coffee shop
                                           in the old library complex.

     Drop off times are between 10am - 4pm Tuesday to Friday.
     Pastor Mark will ensure the goods are secure.


There is no request for money associated with this appeal. Anyone wanting
to donate money that will be used to benefit the people of Bali are 
advised to donate to one of these organisations:-

  *  The Rotary Club of Southbank Bali Trust... 
                  http://rotary.to/

  *  The Bali Crisis Care Foundation... 
                  http://www.wonderfulbali.com/albums/19/ccc001.htm
                  http://www.crisiscarelovina.org (forum)

Whatever goods are collected will be sent to the Bali Crisis Care
Foundation. This is a non-profit foundation that operates a free health
clinic in rural Bali. The staff from Crisis Care spent weeks working as
volunteers at the main hospital in Denpasar after the bombing. They also
provided their entire stock of (mostly) donated items to the hospital. All
donations to this effort will be used totally for the benefit of the
Balinese people.

I have made arrangements with Rotary organisations in Australia and in Bali
to ensure the integrity of this exercise. These can be verified on request.
