We have announced our latest fundraising initiative – a Bollywood Ball to be held in the glitzy showroom of Coastline BMW in Currimundi.
Potentially the ‘charitable event of the year’ for the Sunshine Coast, the inaugural Coastline BMW Bollywood Ball will be held on Saturday 21 March 2009 and the Indian inspired evening will feature Indian cuisine, live music by Jebut Factor, belly dancers, fine beer, premium wine and wonderful prizes and auction items from Dharamsala.
The goal of the ball is to raise additional funds to ensure the build of the hospital keeps moving.
The Architect arrives at the end of October to finalise plans and building is to commence in December. The hospital will be developed in two stages, with the first stage consisting of 20 beds and a further 25 being added later as required and funded.
I hope local business owners, couples and those who just like to support a good cause will come out in their finest Indian attire namely saris, turbans, kaftans, bindies and other suitable Indian attire for a fun night and to make a really positive contribution to those less fortunate.”
There are a limited 200 tickets are available for $165 per person or $150 per person for tables of eight.

Dharamsala, popularly known as the ‘Queen of the Hills’, is divided into lower and upper towns with a difference of 457m(1500ft.) between them. The mountains enfold 3 sides of the town and the valley stretches to the south.
There is a beautiful resort of Dharamsala, which stands on the spur of the Dharamsala range. Dharamsala is known for its scenic beauty, calmness and serenity. It has high pine trees, tea gardens and timber yielding trees. Dharamsala is now the seat of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. After the Chinese conquest of his country, Dharamsala is evocative of the imperial days in places like Mcleod Ganj and Forsythe Ganj.
Dharamsala is the headquarters of the Kangra district. It became the capital in 1852 and is 125 years old. An earthquake once wrecked Dharamsala in 1905. Since 1960, it became temporary headquarters of the Dalai Lama and has risen to international repute as ” The little Lhasa in India”. After the Indo-Chinese and Indo-Pak wars, the govt. erected war memorials of jawans and officers belonging to Kangra, who died in the war.

Tibetan environment has been created in the high altitude, and more than 3000 Tibetans have made Dharamsala their temporary home, living mostly in Mcleod Ganj. To add to its beauty, there is an artificial stream flowing, gleaming with gold fish.
Tibetans took shelter in India in 1959. In the wake of Dalai Lama’s flight from Tibet, 85,000 Tibetans were devastated. Their spiritual leader hasn’t given up the hope of a free Tibet, but to keep the Tibetan art alive, efforts have been made to preserve them. Tibet’s unique form of Thongka painting, woodcarving, metal –crafts and music are very famous. Tibetan works and archive are preserved in the library at Dharamsala where Buddhist monks from distant refugee camps come to study ancient manuscripts.
