Funds raised for Ugandan orphans

Local charity Rainbow Love raised more than $2000 towards educating a group of 460 Ugandan orphans at its Caring and Sharing Day in Umina, on August 10.

Event organiser Ms Annie Sobey will be travelling to Uganda next month, where she will distribute the funds through the Integrated Community Development Foundation (Incodefo).

The foundation's publicity officer Ms Sue McCarthy said more than 150 people attended the Caring and Sharing Day.

"People agreed that Annie Sobeys' day of implementing change through friendship was a wonderful and joyous day," Ms McCarthy said.

Plans are already under way to hold another day, and this time to raise funds for Rainbow Love, for severely and chronically disabled children on the Coast.
