Fundraising Party 27th September 2008 The Evangelist, London

Once again, our friends at The Evangelist put on a fantastic venue for our annual fundraising party. Our wonderful supporters brought along friends, family and colleagues to help us raise much-needed funds for our project in Ghana. Contributing to a brilliant night were Gustav Kuhn with an incredible stage performance of magic and trickery, which brought gasps and cheers from the mesmerised audience. To follow that, was a djembe drumming performance from Odaarti and his students beating out rhythms and chants, hypnotising and energising the audience, as well as African dancing lead by Paola. To really knock communal socks off, was an acrobat spinning bowls on hands and on sticks held in his teeth, followed by balancing a chair on his chain. Absolutely incredible! The night brought in £ 2500 at final reckoning which has been sent to our project to help fund the various programmes we operate there. Thank you so much to all who came and for their generosity on the night - we hope very much to see you again next year.
