"Friday the 2nd November heralded our Nokor Tep Singapore inaugural Gala Dinner at the Conrad Hotel.
Two of our co-founders, Janne Ritskes and His Excellency Trac Thai Sieng, were guest speakers on the night. As well as hearing more about the Nokor Tep hospital, guests enjoyed an evening of music, excellent food and the opportunity to bid for some superb auction items. These ranged from chauffeured driven trips on Harley David motorbikes, a wonderful holiday in Bali through to beautiful carpets. David Huxley kindly performed the role of MC for the evening and Edmund Rajendra of Eastern Carpets proved to be an excellent auctioneer.
A total of just over $77,000 was raised and we want to thank our many donors, volunteers and, of course, our guests on the evening who made the whole event such a success. Everyone who donated more than S$125 through the silent auction, live auction or straight forward donations will of course be recognised on the Wall of Caring. The most up to date Wall of Caring can be viewed on

We are already thinking about next years gala dinner so we will keep you posted!"
