VI Vol 5 - September 2006 Latest News from Sourcing Bali

We are extremely proud to bring you the latest news from Sourcing Bali and our supplier partners. 

In this edition, we bring the much awaited news of the new basket ball court - ( IT'S FINISHED! ) as well as the latest exciting designs from new suppliers in Bali.

The Sourcing Bali crew have been busy with new orders - sending shipments to all corners of the globe.  We say farewell to the final shipments for John and Shane in Hawaii, and also to the last shipments for Liku Liku in Fiji.

The Crew at RIM CARGO have also been busy, meeting with new clients, taking on new customers and increasing our share of the freight forwarding market in Bali.  Our reputation is spreading and the word is out about the RIM's BEST RATES and high level of personal care. 

We thank you as always for your great support. 

Warmest regards
Desmond & Crew

We did it!

First off in this edition, we bring you the much awaited news of the recently completed basket ball court (and volley ball) at Panti Asuhan Salam (Salam Children's home) in Tabanan. 

This project began in late 2005 - with calls for support from our friends all over the world.  Finally, works began in July 2006 and we were pleased to hold the inaugural game on September 1st.

The project included a complete overhaul of sewerage and drainage systems, as well as laundry facilities for the kids - although, I don't think that these were ever noticed !   The entire crew of RIM CARGO and Sourcing Bali closed offices early on Setpember 1st to paint the kid's names and hold a surprise opening party - after the kids returned from school.

We would like to thank the following people for their generous support towards to the project

The Moss Family - Melbourne Australia
Mr Paul McMinn - NZ
Gwen Hopper / Penny Murray - NZ
Jacintha Peeris and Family - France
Francesca Corsetto and friends - Bali / Switzerland
HRH Princess Madawi Bint Mossaid - Riyadh, KSA

We look forward to bringing you news of our next project soon.
