Donate to the Fund in Memory of Dusan Dragoljub Svedic
In October CW Asia Fund faced the sudden passing of a wonderful friend.
Dusan Svedic, October 19, 1944 – October 19, 2009. Our beloved Dusan died tragically with his two brothers in an auto accident on the 19th of October, 2009 in Gornji Milanovac, Serbia, Yugoslavia. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to a fund in memory of Dusan Svedic at the CW Asia Fund/TIDES Canada Foundation.
Dusan was the happiest traipsing through the jungles of SE Asia, In memory of Dusan CW Asia Fund together with Alexander and Grania will continue to support his love for children’s education and healthcare in the countries he love to travel and explore.

Purchase Gifts and Support Ethnic Hill Tribes
Izara Arts is a handicrafts/income generation project run by the Khom Loy Development Foundation which works with Myanmar refugees from the nearby border as well as ethnic minority hilltribes. CW Asia Fund has helped market Izara Arts products in Canada. Highlights of the project:
- currently provides work for 60+ artisans – mostly mothers with young children living in remote villages who would otherwise have to leave children with relatives to find work in large cities.
- all profits from the venture reinvested in community projects, training and scholarships for daughters.
- Izara Arts is an accredited member of the World Fair Trade Organisation, and all artisans are paid a living wage.
- in 2008, a total of over US$10,000 was generated in income for artisans.
You can support these artisans by visiting the Izara Arts website next time you want to give someone a gift.
