To raise awareness (and a few pennies) about the trip a special Zambian curry was served up in the South East Water Deli today.
Not having held a culinary event like this in the past to raise money for WaterAid I was unsure how it would be received and whether anyone would fancy trying something a bit different, but it went down a storm!
Two batches were created and within 45 minutes it was sold out!
Serving up the curry in the Deli with Trevor who deserves a special thank you for his culinary skills and being extremely supportive of the idea. Without him, this day would not have been possible.
In the end we raised £23, not a huge amount but it was a great start and has paved the way for future, larger events like this.
It has also been a fantastic way to raise awareness of the visit as I have had a lot of people coming to me asking about the trip, why I’m going and what I am going to see out there.
Hopefully when I return I can keep the momentum up and encourage many of my colleagues to get involved with the charity in the future.
