Hi there friends, especially outside Rwanda. We are organising a St Patrick’s Day ball here in Kigali for Friday 19th March, a fundraising event in support of setting up a paediatric palliative care centre in Kibagabaga Hospital in Kigali. This will provide education to the mothers of children born with HIV/AIDS on simple and cost-effective ways of ensuring their children receive the kind of diet that is essential to maintaining their health. In a country where the malnutrition rate among chlidren aged 0-5 is 45% and the rate of anaemia 56% this type of education is vital.
We still have tickets left for this event: if you would like to sponsor a seat or a table, the ticket will be given to a member of one of the many voluntary organisations that work hard in the area of disability and HIV/AIDS, thus supporting our fundraising efforts and rewarding someone who is already contributing much to combatting HIV/AIDS and supporting les vulnerables, as we say in Rwanda.
So if you or anyone you know think you might be interested this is how it works: individual tickets are €45, a table of ten for €450. Please contact me ASAP at roheithir@gmail.com or ring me on +250 783 808130 and I'll explain how to go about it.
Oh, and I will be on the Pat Kenny Show on St Patrick’s Day – listen out for me!!!
