KWENDERANA PARTNERSHIP GROUP (MALAWI)

The committee wish to thank all who attended the concert by Alastair McDonald on Monday 15^th February.  A most enjoyable evening of music and repartee was had, followed by a time of friendship with coffee, tea and homebaking in the Fraser Hall.  A big thank you to those who contributed homebaking etc. for the evening.

The sum of £835 was achieved towards the funding of 2 classrooms and a teacher’s house at Ekwendeni.

Thanks must be expressed to all the ladies who helped with the catering.
