On Friday the 22nd of November, we are lucky enough to have been allowed to go to British Gas to carry out our first fund raising event which included cake sales and raffle draw ( we planned other staff but we run out of time ).

We went in at 10:00 by 10:30 our cakes were almost sold out, staffs  were asking for more  that by 12pm Mardin had to run and get some more. They even sent their own driver to drive Mardin about. 

A lot were pleased that I will be personally taking the money over to help the village.

The support we received was very overwhelming, very little questions were asked, everyone knew about the typhoon that any explanation was almost unnecessary.

Five hours later, we managed to sell 64 cake slices, 4 boxes of Fererro Rocher, one raffle ticket booklet and most of all we managed to raise £336.74. 

Thank you very much British Gas. In tagalog, maraming salamat po.

It was such a heart warming experience that inspired me, Kim and Mardin to carry on and plan for another event.

So on the 30th of November we're holding another fundraising at Baracoa bar leeds. 

 

see you all!!!
