2008 Activities

Perwakilan Geneva ladies participated in the United Nation Women's Guild (UNWG) Bazaar, 28 November 2008
The International Charity Bazaar is the highlight of the UNWG calender and is usually held every year in November at the Palais des Nations in Genenva. The important event is a major fundraiser for projects benefiting needy children across the globe. The Perwakilan ladies, assisted by the Mission's local staff manned the Malaysian stalls at the bazaar.

Two stalls were set up which were the national (cratft) stall and the food stall. At the craft stall, 'kaftan' , 'batik lepas' and mini 'tudung saji' sold like hot cakes!
At the food stall, delicious selection of national dishes which were prepared by the members were all sold out by lunch time! Who could resist freshly fried vegetarian currypuffs, finger lickin good sweet sour chicken, fried to perfection fried nasi goreng and flavourful fried meehoon? We also sold thirst quenching guava and lychee juices.
Perwakilan donated CHF600 from the proceeds of sales from the National stall and CHF500 from the Food stall.

We look forward to another exciting bazaar this year!
