Fundraising for the Kenya Programme in the
US
Feminenza US held a Kenya
Project Fundraiser in New York City on Sunday November 13th. The
event took place from one to five in the evening. There were folks
selling
jewelry,
coasters, note cards, mosaics, candle holders,
T-shirts, crocheted scarves, baby slings and enchiladas! Members
of Feminenza, and "friends" spread the word
via emails and posters for a month leading up to the event. On
the day of the event, people were out on nearby street corners
passing out flyers and announcing to the streets, "Jewelry
and crafts for the Kenya Project".
The efforts paid off as
many people stopped, made donations and bought items. Towards
the end of the day, a local dance troupe consisting of three
ladies gave a wonderful performance. As the day was winding down,
people were still coming in, friends still talking and the musicians
took to the piano and good ole fashioned sing-a-long started.
In the words of the organisers: "We ended the day with $900, big
smiles on all our faces and ready to collapse!"
