Drafted 27/02/2012
Donate 2nd clothes from WA
for Slum kids Bangkok
Sorry for the long note but I have to practice the sales pitch
I just typed this on the fly .....
If it’s too long just email me phillip@austhai.biz and say “too long” and I’ll
call
K.I.S.S.
Keep It Simple Silly
People in WA (Perth) donate their 2nd clothes into my suitcase and I'll take to Bangkok with monthly tour groups
Dynamic
Office groups make a team building project to round up the clothes and bundle into a my suitcase with a financial donation
My Vision
Raise money from my local business contacts in Perth
Encourage people to visit the recipients in Bangkok, with me or my local PA staff (it’s
not sad, it’s inspiring; the volunteers & kids have a positive and grateful
attitude)
Unique (value added) tour concept for biz team
building groups (link below)
Visit a worthy community charity group
You decide how the money is spent (relevant to spend value)

About Suitcase WA
- We encourage offices to have a team / collaborative culture
- Donate something (clothes and money) and have a sense of
team effort
- We return something (photos and thanks) to share in
the office
- It can lead to a team building / bonding / reward trip
The boss
will see commercial value and set goals - Example of Team reward tours - this link, includes costs and ebook of actual tours of biz groups from Perth.
- The gain: staff bonding, common goals, shared community values
- Typically the company saves more than the spend on several
critical elements
The process
- I drop off a suit case in your office with an appropriate
sign/sticker
- staff bring in 2nd clothes.. or anything that can fit
in a suitcase
- I take the cargo to Bangkok
- I use my luggage allowance (around 50kg) TG (Thai airlines)
staff always give me excess for the charity suitcase
- I deliver the goodies
- The money is donated according to your wish, typically it’s
- added to a sponsor board of our charity project (see link of
2012 charity project above)
- we show co name for webpage acknowledgement)
- or it’s used to sponsor a lunch for the kids (up to 80)
- depending on the value we send back photos of the event with
your co name
Tax deduction
It may not be international recognised ie., accepted by the AT
however the accountant said
- if
you have photos with co name then its accepted by ATO in lieu of community
- we
show on ur website which then means its advertising expense
We are assessing worthy project for 2013
Your MOST WELCOME to give feedback on any aspect, I’m flexible to get a donation or people to spend time with Thai
