For their 25th wedding anniversary celebration at Vienna, Austria on 14th December last year, my sister Madelief Hobohm-Djelantik and her husband Sarwar Hobohm (shown below with my father and their children Sophia and Omar) asked their guests not to bring gifts or flowers, but instead to donate for the restoration of the water gardens. The fundraising effort was successful not in the least because of the excellent food as the "Heuriger" cooks it all freshly on the premises.
