Successful Fundraising Ideas

DVD night.

A good way to raise money - invite some friends over to watch a few DVD's, chat, etc. With a pot for donations, and perhaps a few leaflets explaining what Watoto is and what we are trying to acheive.
I would recommend £3 minimum donation or whatever people are prepared to give. Also, perhaps ask everyone to bring either a snack or something to drink, so that one person doesnt end up buying everything!
Another good tip is to rent dvd's from a local library rather than a video store as it is cheaper and they usually have a pretty good selection. People from Seven Sisters and Walthamstow got together to raise some money doing this, and it was a great success!

Well done guys!

Orphans Christmas Down Under!

Some amazing people from the other side of the world decided to have an 'Orphans Christmas' this year. This entailed a whole bunch of people from all over the world, coming together in Sydney, Australia to spend Christmas together as they were away from their families.
They had an awesome time, and raised AUD$140 for our house! (thats about £60!)

Thanks guys!

Happy New Year everyone!!
