Events planned by Rainbow Love

A sculpture exhibition, a Caring and Sharing Day and an Open Mike Night are among the events planned this month by local charity Rainbow Love.

The events will raise money for children with chronic, complex and high-care physical needs.

Psychic mediums, healers and therapists will volunteer their time and energy at a Caring and Sharing Day from 10am on Sunday, August 10, to raise money to educate a group of 460 Ugandan orphans.

"This day will give the Peninsula community a great chance to experience healing, readings and massage from a caring and gracious group," event organiser Ms Annie Sobey said.

Ms Sobey will be travelling to Uganda in September, where she will distribute the funds raised from the Caring and Sharing Day through the Integrated Community Development Foundation.

Entry to the fundraiser is by gold coin donation.

Reading, massage and healing sessions will be available at a cost of $15 for 20 minutes.

Crystals, art works and Ugandan arts and crafts will also be on sale.

Drumming group Drumbala will be performing on the day from 3.30pm.
