Sri Lankan Computer Shop named after Sue
June 24, 2008
When I was in Sri Lank back in the first half of 2005 with Bruno doing our Tsunami relief effort - I spent a lot of time talking with him about his aspirations for a future beyond being a tour guide.
The volatile political situation in Sri Lanka means that the tourism industry fluctuates and Bruno is often not able to work for lack of tourists.
I have been mentoring Bruno since 2005 to help him realise his dream of buying a building and setting up a business in his home town of Haputale in the hills of Sri Lanka. Our mentoring has included giving advice on business planning and the practicalities of running a small business, a small business loan to help Bruno secure the premises and the collection of some computer bits, pieces and software to help him get started.
In October 2007, Bruno proudly opened the JBS Liu Computer Centre in Haputale, Sri Lanka
St George Private raises $1000 with New Hope quilts
June 11, 2008
Fundraising efforts have been led by some very dedicated supporters at the hosptial. Special thanks is due for Ros Berryman ( with Geraldine Cox- right) for her dedication and support with organising the raffles and sales of the 7 New Hope quilts.
Geraldine Cox paid a visit to St George Private Hospital on Valentine’s day 2008 to meet and thank staff for embracing Sunrise Children’s Village as one of their special charities to support.
St George Private Hosptial is one of Zulu’s most treasured clients. Sue has worked closely with CEO Tracey Burton to incorporate Social Responsibility programs supporting a select group of organisations working to help communities overseas.
The hospital’s Christmas 07 campaign included a substantial donation to Sunrise Children’s Village - as a gift on behalf of the Doctors at the Private Hosptial - which went toward feeding 300 children 3 meals a day for a month. The hospital also bought calendars for all their staff and suppliers for Christmas, embracing the spirit of giving and generosity in the truest sense.
Zulu applauds the leadership and generosity of the hospital’s Executive for their contributions and support.
