First ever inter-Dream Centre Quiz Contest!

On Friday, 8th July, all the girls from our 4 Dream Centres descended on Bal Mandir for our first ever inter-Dream Centre Trivia Quiz Competition. Each Centre selected 4 competitors to represent them. With Diwakar (facilitator in Baneshwor Centre) and Kamal (facilitator in our Wiley Dream Centre) playing Quiz Masters for the day and Bipana from the new Gyaneshwor Wiley Women’s Dream Centre playing the role of score keeper, the day got off to a great start. Cheered on by their fellow Dream Centre girls, the teams battled it out on questions ranging from Nepali history to child rights.

After a close competition, the MLC Dream Centre won followed by the Gyaneshwor Wiley Women’s Dream Centre team. Well done to all the girls! They all played very well.

It was great to get all the girls from the 4 centres together to swap stories and to meet new friends. We hope to make this a regular event. Thanks to Diwakar for taking the lead on this and to all the facilitators for their organisation and participation. A great example of the power of strong team work! 

Time to get your walking shoes on ...

After such fantastic support last year I have once again signed up to do the City2Surf in the name of Mitrataa.

However this year, rather than running on my own, I invite all of you to join me in walking the course, raising funds for our work at Bal Mandir at the same time.

You need to register to do the work by going to the City2Surf website. You then need to go to our team page - Mitrataa Meanderers - and follow the link to join the team. The password to join the team is ajrdo1. Once you have done this and created your own fundraising page, simply email it to all your friends asking for their support. You will be amazed how quickly the support adds up! (In case the above link doesn't work, our team page can be found at http://www.fundraise.city2surf.com.au/mitrataa_meanderers )

We want to get a good-sized group together to enjoy the walk and a well-earned bite to eat afterwards so please join us.

Of course you can simply sponsor me to complete the course too. My fundraising page for this year's event can be found by clicking here or going to http://www.fundraise.city2surf.com.au/adam_ordish_2011 .

Thanks in advance and hope to see many of you on August 14th!!!
