A supper and screening of this moving and heart-warming film raised £1600 that has been donated to Shingirirai Trust – a charity that empowers women in a very poor area of Harare. ‘Finding Mercy’, directed by Robyn Paterson, tells the true story of Robyn’s return to Zimbabwe to find her friend.
Aliquando and Henry Olonga gave a wonderful concert in aid of Jacaranda Trust (the Jaipur Limb project at Rescu in Harare will benefit). Thank you to all those involved.
Photographic Exhibition at Hilary’s home in Marlow, showcased the remarkable and talented work of wildlife photographer, CAI PRIESTLEY.
Cai has always been fascinated by the natural world and has photographed some of the world’s most spectacular creatures over the last few years. His travels have taken him deep into the jungles of Rwanda in search of mountain gorillas, across the sub-arctic tundra of Northern Canada to meet the polar bears and onto the plains of Kenya’s Masai Mara to witness the epic wildebeest migration. It is very evident that Cai has a special connection with the creatures he photographs. We were thrilled when Cai agreed to showcase some of his stunning photographs at Hilary and Chris’s lovely home last July when he kindly donated a percentage of his sales to Jacaranda Trust.
We’d like to say a HUGE thank you to Cai and all our friends and supporters who came along. The exhibition raised a fantastic £507.00.
Bridge afternoon, kindly hosted by Jane and Paul Falinski which raised funds for the Shingirarai Trust’s papermaking project.
