Caterpillar Stretching Imagination (http://www.caterpillar.com.my/) and Sirocco Dance Secrets (http://www.sherlyndance.com/) recently organized a charity dance concert called Kaleidescope which featured performances from toddlers in chicken suits to sizzling belly dancers in flamboyant Egyptian costumes and burlesque dancers in sexy French bustiers! It was all for a good cause as proceeds will go towards the Kachin Refugee Women & Children's Fund.
More than RM12,000 was raised for the refugee community, alot more than what the organizers had anticipated. It was a full house and raffle tickets were sold out! Prizes ranged from dining vouchers to designer dresses!
The money will be used for basic necessities like food and daily needs for the refugees as well as medical expenses especially for the women and children. The Fund also invests in self-help projects for the women to make jewellery, bags, scarves, hand phone pouches and other future business projects for their community.
The aim of the fund if not just to contribute to the refugees but to empower and enable them to become self reliant through selling their own products.
Thanks to everyone involved in the concert. Stay tuned for photos of the check presentation!
