Well nearly, the Demonstration school for Deaf Children is currently facing a shortfall of funds which if not met will result in the closure of the school.

To enhance on this already highly clichéd and corny post, every pound* counts. I know this is a cheeky abuse of your trusting readership, but I wouldn’t ask unless it was necessary.
Thanks, and I promise to do a proper post once we have raised some cash. If we raise lots of money I'll post an exceptionally embarrassing video of me dancing at the Hausa theater, 300 Hausa people entertained by one batauri....
*US Dollars, Zambian Quacha, Brazillian Real’s or even Naira are all welcome.
have you thought about contacting big UK charities (like ActionAid) in country to apply for funding. Often they fund projects like this (and then claim the work as their own on their websites etc). I could find out who the fundraising manager is in AA Nigeria if you want a contact.
ReplyDeleteSounds good andy, will send you an email to get the details.

(thanks very much for the donation as well)
