As we reach the end of week tw0 of our Happy House Safe and Spound Appeal we have raised almost £2000 of our £8,600 target. ,That’s a good result so far but we are still a long way from meeting the cost of an entire new roof for our children’s home. ,The situation became so acute and urgent when unprecented rain storms at the end of last year, did such excessive damage to the makuti thatch that it couldn’t be repaired, we had to start the work. ,Instead of makuti a form of steel sheeting is being used as one of our charity trustee’s Phil Marshall shows us in this video. ,The sheeting is highly durable and it is being expertly fitted. ,But the work is eeating into our cash reserves and we must replace this money to ensure the smooth and continued running of our operation. ,Our reserves were already at a low becaudse of the effect the pandemic and the global cost of living has had on fundraising and donations, ,We are asking you to help us to pay for the roof by supporting our Safe and Sound Appeal. ,You can make a donation via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ChildrenofWatamu or Justgiving https://www.justgiving.com/childrenofwatamu/Donate ,Maybe you could arrange a fundraising event – a coffee morning, cake sale, sponsored run etc. ,Whatever you do please keep us in touch so that we can say thank you. Just email our voluntary UK coordinator Elizabeth Gomm – elizabethgomm@childrenofwatamu.net ,We must keep our children, all of whom have had a tragic start in life, safe and sound. Thank you.
