A hot time in Totland!

The Isle of Wight curry nite was a great success, a room full of people and plenty of curry - what can possibly go wrong?! The team made £700 for Young Hope, a fantastic result. We also have 3 new sponsors - so welcome to them.
Many thanks to all who went and supported this evening. Below is an extract of an article written by one of the organisers....

A curry evening was organised on Friday May 4th at the Holy Family Centre, adjacent to St. Saviour parish church in Totland. More than 50 guests and helpers sat down to a menu that included a choice of six different and delicious Sri Lankan curries.

The event was to raise money for ‘Young Hope’. Thanks to a triumph of logistical organisation and the generosity of supporters, almost £700 was raised.

‘Young Hope’ was established, initially, to provide refuge and food for children orphaned by the effects of the tsunami disaster. But the area in which the charity operates has become a war zone and so the work has developed to include young people affected by this bitter, civil war.

All money raised to support this project goes directly to the Sri-Lanka either in cash or as goods that are needed urgently. Suzie and Priya are scheduled to visit the area again in July to offer further support and to set up a summer camp for the children.
