In Italy the collection just ended, and we were able to collect the (pleasantly surprising, I admit) sum of 900 Euros. The dream of buying a Bemo that will cut drastically all costs for kids transportation to school is getting closer. 
In Dublin because of various conferences, ski trips, etc. we're a bit behind, but we all know how busy those office workers are:) As school start is getting closer in Lombok it's time to wrap up the collection in Dublin and in other locations. Final date to collect all funds is Friday 6th June.
If you're in Dub reading this blog you probably work for the big G. For you Pascalle is the contact point. If you're somewhere else in the world please find bank transfer details here:

I'm quite confident we'll be able to collect a decent amount of money; best case we get the bemo and get the village transportation-independent. Worse case scenario all kids will be able to go to school this year, but then again, what about next year?
Thank you kindly to all who donated already and to all the others wishing to do so. Looking forward to update you all on how your contribution is being used.
