Happy New Year to Balinese Children |
|
|
| As many of you are aware, Bali is the location of BaliCamp, a high-tech development center operated by caatoosee and our Indonesian subsidiary Sigma. Of course, many of you will also know Bali as a first-class travel destination - paradise on earth. Sadly, the terrorist attacks in October have changed the lives of many Balinese beyond recognition. |

|
Whereas most of us will be celebrating Christmas with chocolate and presents, many families in Bali will be mourning the loss of relatives and loved ones. Children who lost their fathers in the brutal attacks. Families who have been plunged into poverty and who can no longer afford to send their children to school.

We have personally met four of these families, and we would like to offer them financial support in the form of a donation. Initially, ten children will receive a monthly amount for a period of one year. The youngest of "our" children is three months old, and the eldest has just another year of school to look forward to.

Our donation will give them a glimmer of hope and a chance to remain at school. It is to be seen as a foundation upon which to build, something they can look forward to in the coming year. Indeed, our Christmas present is a small investment in the future of these children.

In keeping with this spirit of compassion, caatoosee would like to wish its customers, business associates, and friends a very happy and peaceful Christmas. We look forward to seeing you again in 2003.
