High tea for Kenyan cause

Skills for Life International held its second High Tea and Fashion Parade at St Huberts Island on Saturday, April 28.

Skills for Life International was formed last year to raise funds to assist children and adults in Kisii, Kenya.

The volunteers ran the event as a fundraiser towards supplying a troop carrier for the community.

"In this part of Kenya, the majority of people walk everywhere, so this vehicle will be invaluable for medical transportation and general use by the community as a whole," said local president Mr Jon McIlveen.

Fudge's boutique at Woy Woy supplied the fashion for the parade and donated a percentage of the profits to the cause.

The first event raised over $3500, from the entry fee, sale of plants, handmade bags from Kenya, calendars, diaries and Christmas.
