Another reminder to everyone about the biggest and best event that we hold each year – Diane’s annual African & Local Handicrafts & Jewellery Sale.

If you can come along, please bring along as many friends and family that you can persuade to come – they would be most welcome – please, please do your best to support us – it is a great opportunity to get some really ‘different’ and unique Christmas presents – all profits are going towards the cost of the final two dormitories we are building at the New Meserani Secondary School – we really do need your support.
