Donations from the African night

Last night, my family and I hosted an African night and silent auction at Parkveiw United Church. 
It was a lot of FUN and we raised $3,327. We have already sent $1,500 and we have $1,950 in the bank! That's six thousand, seven hundred and seventy seven dollars!! It will go along way toward the health center that the people in the Sigoti  are currently building!  At the African night, there was drumming and dancing from the Rafiki Drummers and dancers, there was storytelling from Ghana and Ethopia, there were Kenyan chants, Kswahili songs, Piano playing by me, trumpet playing by my mom, guitar playing by my dad and lots more!!

Check out this link to a newspaper article about our trip:

My next post will probably be coming from Africa because I leave on Thursday 29th September!
