Dear colleagues,

As you've no doubt heard by now, Bali suffered from three deliberate
bomb attacks this past weekend.

On behalf of the TREAT Asia Network, please know that our thoughts
and prayers are with our friends and colleagues in Bali, Indonesia.
We hope that you and your families are safe and unharmed.

Because of these recent bombings, TREAT Asia felt it was necessary
and prudent to relocate the upcoming 5th TREAT Asia Network Meeting.

After much consideration, the TREAT Asia Steering Committee and the
TREAT Asia staff have decided that the best option is to host the
meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.

Therefore, the 5th TREAT Asia Network Meeting will take place:

Dates:
14-15 October 2005

Venue:
The Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers
2 Captain Bush Lane
New Road, Siphya
Bangkok 10500, Thailand
Phone 66 (0)2 266 0123
Fax 66 (0)2 236 8320

The TREAT Asia meeting is open to the public and anyone who is
interested to attend.

TREAT Asia is a non-profit, non-governmental organization with
limited funding. Please be advised that there are no scholarships
or financial support for individuals to attend this meeting. TREAT
Asia is ready to assist individuals who travel to Bangkok on their
own to secure affordable hotel accommodations.

If you cannot join us for the meeting, TREAT Asia will provide a
summary of the proceedings on our website at www.treatasia.org.

If you are able to attend this meeting, please inform Stan Wong at
