Zimfest is actually ... a fundraiser...

All the excitement about Zimfest being this weekend might be overshadowing the fact that Zimfest is actually hosted by WeZimbabwe, a UK registered charity that raise funds to help Zimbabweans. ...

I'm raising money for WEZIMBABWE and I'd really appreciate your support. This year some funds raised at this huge event that Zimfest has become will go towards Tichakunda preschool - a school which emerged after the Hatcliffe Extension squatter camp was razed to the ground in "Operation Murambatsvina". The 600 young children that attend at Tichakunda range between the ages of 2 - 9 years old, and are taught lessons and given one daily meal of porridge. They are trying to raise money to sink a borehole so the children can have access to clearn water, build classrooms so they can have lessons in a structure other than in a wooden shack, build toilets, and to give the children more than one meal a day - for some of these children that's the only meal they are getting... find out more about their projects.

I dont need to tell you that some of these necessities are things many of us take for granted. Make a donation, small - or big - to help change the future of someone else. I am sure you can spare a pound. It's easy to donate online with a credit or debit card - just go to my JustGiving page:

JustGiving sends your donation straight to WEZIMBABWE and automatically reclaims Gift Aid on all eligible donations, so what you give is worth even more. I hope you'll join me in supporting WEZIMBABWE.

Thank you.
