Hi Cate,
I think it is a great idea. I’m sorry I don’t have any funds to donate. I’m still in ultra-frugal survival mode here.

If anyone could do this You are definitely the one to do it. After all I watched you turn a small little sew your own product company to a huge nationally recognized success. Your definitely making the most of life and I know you will make this a huge success. I can’t wait to hear more about your journey with this..

Good day Cate, You are as I have already noted, an inspiration. You have big thoughts and big direction that without a doubt, I know will lead you to do big things for people. That’s what its about and you have the experience, you have the drive, and heavens you have the heart to do this. If you can raise nine kids, you can take on the world. I expect you will make Indonesia like Australia a home. Hopefully, it will be a home for many. Those will be lucky children and of course lucky wildlife (the refuge) as well. I offer my meager advice and direction as and when you may find it useful. Best of everything for this venture! Richard Bernhardt

Cate – I have just read this post and you are so inspiring. What a caring, giving, amazing person you must be. I am so glad to have “met” you recently, and look forward to keeping up with your project – I can already tell that it will be highly succesful.
I am happy to help in any way possible – I will have a think of a few options that I can provide and email you with some suggestions – you are welcome to use any or all of them.

Thanks for sharing this with us all!
Jo

Nan is one of the most amazing visual artists that I have had the opportunity of meeting, and a beautiful person into the mix. I’d love all my readers to check out her work at http://nanengen.imagekind.com/ – she is truly one of a kind!

Any contribution you can come up with would be wonderful, Nan. Your help in spreading the word in the art world would be wonderful, as for some reason I’ve been neglecting my art lately (and the wonderful community of my artist friends).

Bright blessings to you and yours.
Cate

Cate, I cannot begin to tell you how much admiration I have for you, your husband and beautiful family. What an enormous undertaking – your life is anything but ordinary. I’ll reread this and see if there’s an area where I could help in some small way. The only thing I can think of right now is donating proceeds from IK sales to your project or maybe starting a group at IK. I’ll think on this. Best to you all.

Love the kid’s shirts – especially, “Yes, we do own a TV”

I didn’t read all of this post, so forgive me if you mentioned it, but have you heard of Vana? They do a really, really similar thing in African countries. You might be interested in partnering with them? I don’t really know, but I just thought you might be interested!!

Other then that, I love your big family, and the kids shirts in those pictures are great! At least the ones I can read are!!
