Carols by Candlelight 2011

It might seem rather early to let you know about this year's Carols by Candlelight but we know that diaries fill up quickly in December! It will be held on Sunday 4th December and will be raising funds for the completion of the 3 classroom block that is being built in Chiziro. Already the Feeding Station is up and running on the site and it provides a hot meal for 200 children a day. The Feeding Jar Project that we launched last year has been very successful with several Cardiff and Pontypridd based schools coming on board. The children in Zambia are so grateful for all the support they receive from the pupils in Wales.

Quiz night and Supper

We are looking forward to our next fundraising event which will be a quiz night and ploughman's supper on Saturday 17th September. I am sure it will be a lot of fun and pretty taxing as Rob and Ceri Wilson are setting the questions!
It is not too late to book your team in for the night. Hopefully we will be able to post new photos on here very soon.
The money raised will be used to repair the borehole at The Good Samaritan School. It will also pay for a consignment of books ( donated by local schools) and 200 scholar pack that will be given to the pupils at the Ethembeni School in Chiziro which we are building from scratch.
