Hands Across the Water Charity Dinner

On Tuesday, October 27, 2009 Chedi Restaurant was proud to host a charity dinner for Hands Across the Water; which is a charity established by Peter Baines to support the many orphans of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami in Thailand. The dinner was organised by Daniel Murray, who worked tirelessly and with great humility to make the night a huge success.

This is an excerpt of an e-mail by Daniel, thanking those who participated and supported the event.

Thank you for joining us at the Hands Across The Water – Chedi Thai dinner last Tuesday night. It was a wonderful evening full of great food, lots of smiling faces and hopefully some heart warming thoughts and images for you to take away with you. It was our absolute pleasure to share our passion with over 100 people at such a great venue. The wonderful news is that we raised $6,900 on the night which is a wonderful achievement and we thank you deeply for your contribution!

Once in Thailand we will buy all the shampoo, soap and other goods you so generously helped us with and hand deliver it to the children and staff of the orphanages. The ride leaves Bangkok on 18 January 2010 and we will arrive in Khao Lak on Australia Day 2010. We’ll keep you updated on our progress so you can be a part of the fun.
