Funds are much needed to help with the care and education of the children, orphaned because of hiv/aids.
Poole Soroptimist Mary was determined to give her support and organised a fund-raising coffee morning. Pictured here are Poole Soroptimists and friends enjoying coffee in the Dorset sunshine. The event, which also included table top sales and a raffle, raised £300.
Mary commented, ‘The Mamelodi project provides hope for children who have lost everything. They have a home, are cared for and go to school. There have been some great success stories there but funds are much needed for the good work to continue.’
