While the final numbers are not in yet, I am very pleased to announce that we successfully completed the fundraising for the well in Tanzania at our cocktail party last night. Any excess funds will be directed to the education project. Thank you to everyone who particpated through financial donations, attending the cocktail party, buying auction items and 50/50 tickets, working at the event and to those who have provided much needed morale support. It has been absolutely amazing! Special thanks to Randy Fitzpatrick and the staff at Petit Bill’s, our excellent MC, Paul Brent, Dianne Cardin who gathered so many auction items and to Shannon Singh and others at Plan Canada who have been incredible throughout.
It is tremendously satisfying to know that a community will have so many more opportunities as a result of the access to clean water that we have collectively provided.
