Bloomberg’s Claire Leow says goodbye to Jakarta


Traditionally the hacks do it with a farewell pissup but Claire, who’s been in Jakarta for many years, and a teetotaler, is choosing to do hers with raising money for a cause.Been fun to have had her in Jakarta as she’s one hell of a business journo. We’ll all miss you Claire. Good luck.

Today at 10:56am
What: My Farewell to Batavia
Where: Face Bar, part of Lana Thai.
When: Friday, Nov 23, from 7 p.m.

In lieu of the fact that I do not drink and will have to reject offers of drinks on Friday, I would like to ask instead for contributions instead to the Bali Soccer Academy, a non-profit community project incorporated as a yayasan. It is to provide coaching in a safe and structured environment, for kids of all ages, particularly the under-privileged kids of Abianbase, about20 minutes from Kuta. It will also keep them off the streets and from negative influences. The project, founded by Leonard Beschizza with Owen Monaghan as coaching director and Mark Robinson as operations director, will be self-funding and costs will be covered by sponsors and the holding of football camps for children of tourists and Bali expats.

    To Claire,

    I am really really sorry … I do not know your mobile number plus, I spend christmas in my hometown, 3 hours from manado.
    I saw your message at my yahoo email, but I could not open it or read it because my company already ban our access to Facebook (yes, can you believe that, what harm does facebook had anyway other than multiply, myspace and others…sigh…)
    So I am so sorry if you happened to dive in Manado at that week, I do want to meet you but I do not know how to reach you and I believe Rubi is outside the country so I do not know who to contact …

    some other time, I believe …or maybe when I visit Spore, we could meet, yes …

    cheers
