WIC to hold charity bazaar

JAKARTA: The annual charity bazaar organized by the Women's
International Club will take place next Thursday at the Jakarta
Hilton Convention Center.

This year's event will feature 170 Indonesian stands
representing a number of different provinces as well as 35 stands
organized by embassies in Jakarta offering various specialty
delicacies and crafts.

At the white elephant stall, the yearly bazaar's most popular
attraction, visitors will find second hand books and home
appliances donated by members of participating organizations.

Proceeds from the bazaar will be donated to organizations
providing social and humanitarian programs, such as orphanages
and hospitals for mentally disabled children.

The U.S. Embassy and the Australian Embassy will not take part
in this year's bazaar, according to Rose Lintong, spokeswoman of
WIC.--JP
