In March we achieved a fantastic result for our Lent Appeal Coffee Morning which resulted in a final total of £1665 being raised for ‘Wilmslow Wells in Africa’. When you add on Gift Aid this comes to £1926 which is way in excess of the challenging increased target of £907 set for us when the Chairman of the Charity, David Cash, came to visit. That said, I had a feeling that we would meet the target because of the nature of the project, and that I had confidence in the generosity of the people of this church. It was encouraging, though, to see a good number of people beyond the church family supporting the event. What I did not expect was for us to smash the target by 100%!
We had originally hoped to fund the borehole repair for the Lunawi School in Malawi but we will now be able fund another borehole repair in Bongwe and partially fund another project called Lolo 3. In total, over 7000 people will benefit from this donation including 1862 schoolchildren in Luwani. So a huge thank you is due to everyone concerned.
