I am sorry for your loss. Please be sure to keep us informed about the foundation so that those of us who might be able can help in some way.

Really sorry to hear that, you have my most sincere condolensces. I'm also grieving for someone who passed away a couple of weeks ago, so I know how you feel. Like you suggested, doing your best to honour her memory is the best thing to do. Very best of luck with the foundation.

Thank you again, guys.

Here's my plan: I will do what Keke and I talked about 6 months ago. And that is to make a fun and relaxed weekend for a number of the poorest HIV infected trans*girls in Jakarta. A weekend at some resort where I then get in a doctor from a trans*friendly clinique (I already know the clinique - had my two HIV tests done there myself) to guide the girls regarding medicine and how to deal with HIV.

This will be done in coorperation with one or two of the NGOs here to make sure that I have the necessary organisatorial back-up.

I will finance it myself, since no NGO here has any funds, and the idea will be to make it a start of something worthwile to make sure that the ladies learn to take care of themselves regarding check-ups and medicine.

I will do it under the name of the Keke Amalia Trans*Foundation and I will set up a website for this as well. Probably under the Arus pelangi umbrella. Arus Pelangi is an LGBT NGO that I did the design for, so I guess that would be appropriate.

What do you think? Should I come up with a better name?

Hank, I really love what you plan to do - and the name is perfect

sorry to hear thebad news godbless her

Terrible news.

I'm sorry to read about it.

I think what you're planning to do now is very appropriate, Hank. I don't mean to lecture, since I do f*ck-all myself, but I really think you need to see this one through. I don't want to get too cosmic, but maybe this will prove to be a providential good from the bad of your friend's death.

All the best, Hank. When the going gets tough (and even when it doesn't), remember: you have some net buddies here. No one should ever be alone.

Wéll... do you think sweet Keke and I always used rubber? Ouch! Well, we didn't and shame on us... so maybe the slogan should be: "do as we preach, not as we act..."

Hmmm... I'm such a hypocrate... and so was my Keke ;-) But we mean so well!

I'll set up a weekend tour as announced to make a new beginning in Keke Amalia's name... but I also know that if the girl is cute, then I'll seduce her on the moonlit beach. If we sit there after the good doctor has preached all day at the beach around a John Denver fire, all in a good relaxed mood... the stars are out... tropical... beautiful... me among 20 trans*girls... then you'll have to ask CuriousGirl to cut my balls off for me to stay off-limits...

I HAVE to behave...

I'll be nice, I'll be square, I'll be fair... I'll behave... I'll behave...

The point is to give THEM all I can... I really mean that...

Oh mano...

Ok, I'll set it up next week...
