MY CHARITY WORK – THANK YOU EVERYONE!
WORKSHOP at my home on last Thursday 29th of May, from 11 am ~ 3 pm
It was fun. I prepared lunch and then we did a relooking workshop.
I explained and demostrated how to accessorize an outfit, choosing:
SHOES, BAG, JELLERY, MAKE-UP, HAIR-STYLE.
It is amazing how the wrong accessories can ruin a look.
(I wear of the day: Topshop dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Patrizia Peppe leggins)
I explained how to plan a closet wardrobe nicely and efficiently.
At the end of the session I have raised S$600 (12 persons attended and each person donated S$50 and someone donated double!).
Tomorrow Tuesday I will be holding a session in Aoyama at Las Chicas a group of 20 women donating Yen 5,000 have been confirmed on a very short notice, which is great.
I am doing work to raise money for “my Autistic Children” in Cambodia, their parents are working long hours and they have nobody to care for them or to even feed them and they are outside on the street wandering like lost souls, or attached on a chair all day until someone comes back home. It is horrible and I feel too much to just sit home and do nothing.
My son was lucky. We recovered him because we could. We had the financial ressources to do it. But they have no chance in life, and I want from the bottom of my heart to help.

I met this incredibly charming couple trough my Brother Philippe who does humanitarian work in Cambodia and they asked him if they could contact me.
We wrote to each other and the we started talking via SKYPE a few times. Then I came up with the idea of opening my home, monthly, to anyone who wish to meet me or learn from me, in order to send back money to Pierre and Marie-Francoise Chetcuti.

With the money I raise I can help to create a mini factory to produce fruits jam and most of the children will have a salary at the end of the month and will have shelter and food. So exciting! Thank you so much for helping me. Much love!
Some of the attendees in Singapore: Tomoe Slawson , Soko Machida, Tomoko Mauss
Good news!
With the 2 work sessions we raised together,
enough money to finance the mini-factory of fruit jams manufacturing!!!!

Dear Ines, I just commented on you and JLO’ pics. But it said it awaits for moderation. I’m not sure if it reach you. I just want to say you should be very, very, very proud of your body!!!
Anyway, I wish I could joined the workshop. It must have been fun and very interesting. And exciting. If you have the workshop again, please do let us know. I’m sure lots of your readers (including me) are more than happy to join. I myself am in Singapore at the moment. It’s good to come back here again. While I was waiting for another meeting somewhere half way between them, I spotted a lot of cleaning ladies. They are really old. And they look so unhappy. I would not want my mother to be like that. She deserves to rest and spend the precious time of her life. I think I see the path I’m going clearer. I guess it’s part of the modern world where everything is so fast that I expect life changing incident will happen so fast. Sometimes I expect success to happen in a very second. I know it’s not. But I have to remind myself this very often.
If you need help doing the charity things you are doing, please do let us know. We are all lucky. A lot luckier that lots of, lots of people. Sharing our good luck is not a bad thing. Spreading good luck is always good.
Good luck to you and your campaign. The children will be very happy when they receive the generous jam.
