A first Fund Raising Event for a small Charity is always a nail-biting affair wondering if it will be a success or not. Well, Educating Others' first event surpassed our wildest expectations. So far over £485-00 has been raised to be divided between GUA Africa and Rose of Sharon. The weekend didn't end there, after Church on Sunday 29 August, Phithi (our co-founder) was presented with a cheque for £250-00 from the congregation and PCC of St. John's Church, Horninglow and again this will be shared between our beneficiaries. We at Educating Others are so grateful for the generosity shown by the people in our area of Staffordshire, and though many have been thanked personally, we hope if we have missed anyone that they will accept our thanks through this Blog and our Newsletter. A few photos from Saturday's event are below.
