Curry Success!
Young Hope Curry Night - 11th Feb 2007
On 11th Feb we held another Young Hope curry night, although this time with a slight difference, Priya didn’t have to cook! Wow –what an amazing turnout we had, thankyou so much to all of you who came and to those of you who couldn’t come but donated some money. Over 50 people came in the end and it was amazing for me to look round the room and only recognise half the people! So a real tribute to all of you who invited friends and work colleagues. The Neamaste Kerala did a fantastic job and kept up a steady stream of superb curries that even my grandmother would have been happy to eat! Many people commented on how different he curry was compared to other curry houses - the South Indian influence!
In total we raised just over £600, which will go to buy goods for out trip to Sri-Lanka in the summer. A team of 8 of us are going out to work with the Young Hope projects. Several people also became new sponsors, which has been a real help to our monthly support for the children.
I can’t thank you enough for all your support; it really is making a difference. We plan to hold another curry night on our return from Sri-Lanka to update you on all the projects and show what we used the money for. We also hope to fit in another fundraising event before we go and IU know a few of you are also planning some events of your own – Thankyou!
