The event was largely arranged and organized by the President of the GLO, Sarah Browne. They raised a whopping $500 so a big thank you goes out to everyone involved.

Katie Piper who held a fundraising night at her house. Highlights included Gua Africa cup cakes, an African themed quiz with some small prizes and a competition where each guest had to come up with a name for their tribe and draw a picture of themselves in their tribal outfit.

The night raised a fantastic $300 and everyone had great fun which is just as important!

Sisters Karen Clark & Debbie Gray coordinated a social media fundraising campaign inspired by our founder's Lose to Win challenge of last year. The One Meal A Day in May challenge is fairly self-explanatory but they also encouraged others to join them in losing something for the duration of the month and then donating what they would have spent on that item to Gua. The campaign raised over $1,500 and they have plans to begin other challenges in future months.
