An afternoon tea that made a difference 🍰
Wonderful volunteer Dee invited friends for a delicious cream tea in her beautiful garden yesterday, and raised £469!
These vital funds will go directly to help children in rural Ghana go to school. Children who are hungry for education, but lack the basic tools they need to get there like books, pencils - and, most importantly, a school lunch to give them the energy they need to get through the day.
It was a perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday.
Heartfelt thanks to Dee for always having our children in her heart, and a special mention to Geoff for his spectacular strawberry jam!
A beautiful afternoon, thank you for our invite
Grateful for kind-hearted people like Dee who make a difference 🙏
That's so heartwarming!
Very well done Dee, and thank you to everyone that made a donation!🎉🙏
Great job we really appreciate the good words you have been doing for our communities
Great
Well done Dee and everyone who made this donation successful. We are highly proud of your capabilities. Kudos to you all 🎉
