THE POWER OF FUNDRAISING EVENTS


It has been a year ago when Monika decided to run a Charity Dance Workshop for our charity. Her 3 hours work shop with all the people who participated made incredible difference - a massive difference that maybe not that many of you can even imagine!

Whisper has now invested all the money she donated (£1170) to bring electricity to the house! We have to realize that the house has 10 bedrooms and we will be using 14 lights. The house did not have any wires installed so we had to get the electricity installation from total scratch.  Because we are getting solar panels (as they are the best for the environment ) we won't be paying any monthly bills!!! We don't need to apply to the local district for electricity, which could take more than 3 months to have it installed and we would probably end up paying £500 - £800 more! 

Although the solar power can only light up 13 lights and can give power to the TV or a laptop and can even power kitchen equipments like a blender. They have 240 watts. 

The good thing is that when we fundraise more money we can add-on panels which could give electricity even to a  fridge!

This is such an important step we have done! The house is in the middle of nowhere and anywhere around can be found an electricity line!

We all can  realize how MUCH DIFFERENCE we can make from 1 day of workshop! PS: We spent around 700.000 USH ($350) for the electric cables, switches, plugs, and energy saving lights for the whole house. African people are getting 700.000 USH annual salary! So after a year of working they  still cannot afford to invest into the electricity (as it could cost around 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 (millions) Can you see what difference we can all make to the world???  It is so important we can stop and think!

We all can do together major achievements!!!!! Please do not stop helping!

Thank you!
