€333.00raised of €20,000.00 goal goal
Providing arts and culture to children in previously disadvantaged communities is what we achieve and have done for the past 6 years
We include young school leavers and have recently raised funds by selling a calendar generously photographed by #JosieBorain for us. We have used the funds to send two young ladies overseas to aupair. Their air tickets and visa funds were paid for from the sale of the calendar. We were featured on the website of #thegoodthingsguy.
We wish to assist more youngsters from disadvantaged communities, and currently pay for dance classes for them to attend while in High school. One of our success stories ,a young girls from the Overberg is currently attending the Waterfront Theatre School.
