Ugandan party raises money

 

Peninsula residents will have the opportunity to raise money for the Integrated Community Development Foundation, while partying Ugandan style on Saturday, May 3.

Fundraising party "Akabaga" has been organised for the Peninsula to help raise money for the "Central Coast Internet Café" in Kampala, in land-locked Uganda.

The event is being organised by the Foundation to help purchase a diesel generator required to keep computers working during frequent Kampala power interruptions at the internet café in Uganda.

"Many local musicians are donating their time and talent to ensure that participants have fun whilst raising money for a good cause, with food, drinks, raffles and African arts and crafts for sale on the night," publicity officer Ms Sue McCarthy said.

The event will begin from 5.30pm to 10.30pm and is held at Rainbow Gate, 207 West St, Umina.

The night will feature entertainment from Drumbala, Akabaga Boys Band, Jan Couchman and soloists from the Bouddi Voice Choir.

Tickets are available on the night for $10 per person (gold coin donation for children) or can be purchased by telephoning 4344 3044.
