Rainy season has come to Hope Orphanage in Makeni, Sierra Leone.
This time of year brings torrential rain, causing severe flooding, bringing serious health risks and making travelling difficult, sometimes impossible.
The wet and cold conditions bring a very real risk of illness, malaria and other water-borne diseases. Many of the girls are still attending school or finishing their final exams, so have no choice but to walk, often for several hours, to and from school. The youngest girls might have a bit of fun and play in the puddles, despite being the puddles could be dangerous, they are after all just kids...
This RAFFLE is an appeal to help raise funds to pay for blankets, jackets, footwear, rainproof clothes, umbrellas, medicines and anything else needed to help keep the Girls at Hope Orphanage, dry, warm, safe and healthy!
You could win one of these gorgeous works of art:
🎨Collage from NICK HYDRA's 'Floating World (ukiyo)' series!
🎨Author's proof booklet of ALAN MORGAN's latest tale of life after climate collapse 'SERTRA'
Please give whatever you can contribute!
Original art prizes will be announced very soon!
The raffle draw will be from 8:30pm (BST) in the Punk 4 The Homeless FB group on Wednesday 3rd July 2024!
