EBOLA ORPHANS FUND RAISER
JANUARY 15th
MERCHANTS RESTAURANT OCEAN VILLAGE SOUTHAMPTON
The event is in aid of the Ebola orphans left in the wake of the epidemic in West Africa.
This
particular crisis has it's roots not in war or Government corruption
but in a virus that is indiscriminate and has decimated families.
Many
of the children orphaned have no living relatives left in their
immediate family and attempting to locate distant members is proving
difficult.
The charity I'm supporting is the
St George Foundation. They are a UK charity based in Southampton with 11 years experience of working in Sierra Leone.
Their passionate and courageous staff are experienced with child welfare,
counseling, family tracing and caring for
children on a daily basis.
Their current focus is on rescuing orphaned children, assisting with their
recuperation and counseling while staff trace and train relatives or foster parents to help get them back into the community.
On
the 15th January there will be a few live music acts, buffet and I will
be having my dreadlocks (that I've had for 20 years) cut off.
I would really appreciate it if you can make it along but if that's not possible any small donation that would be fantastic!
