Another successful fundraising event in Geneva, Switzerland for the Zimbabwe Network for Health
On 2 October 2010 Zimbabweans in the Diaspora in Switzerland and committed supporters to the cause came together again at the Holy Trinity Church Hall in Geneva to express their support and display their generosity.
ZimHealth-Europe is pleased to report that donations and purchases of the items that were on sale and on auction during the function raised about 2,400 Swiss francs. Donations made towards the food, bar takings and the sale of T-shirts raised about 3,785 Swiss francs. This gave a total of 6,185 Swiss francs. US$ 69.29 was received in cash at the function. A further 673 Swiss francs was received via postal orders. Donations were also received through PayPal to the amount of US$ 576.18. We are aware of other pledges that are still being made and coming in. We estimate that the final total figure of donations for this event will be just over 10,000 Swiss francs. When we have compiled all the donations we will issue another note for information to update you all.
ZimHealth would like to extend its gratitude to the authorities at the Holy Trinity Church for availing the Hall to ZimHealth at no cost as part of the Church’s donation to the cause. We would like to thank all those who contributed to the success of the event in one way or another, ranging from donating and cooking the food, serving the food, serving the drinks at the bar, ordering the T-shirts, preparing the banners and the auction, and selling the items at the sales desk on the evening. We thank all those who donated the items that were put on the sales table and on auction. We thank our photographers, ushers and all those who helped set up the room and also those who helped with the cleaning and tidying up afterwards. The list is endless! Thank you all.
