Kidzcare, our featured Project of the Month

dsgdar — Fri, 04 May 2012 16:53:11 +0000

Thank you Mary Notman of Kidzcare, the DSG’s featured project of the month!

At our monthly DSG meeting on 18 April, Mary Notman, the founder and director of Kidzcare, gave an informative overview of the work of the children’s centre in Kerege Village near Bagamoyo.

The DSG has supported Kidzcare in various projects for a number of years. Most recently, this March, we granted funding to put a fence around the home, to fulfill governmental legal requirements.

Welcome! Please bring and share your ideas for the DSG!

The previous DSG meeting was held at the Indian Cultural Centre. The turn out was excellent and so was the program
of the day. Mary Notman from Kidzcare (a project sponsored by the DSG) gave a talk, we had
a fantastic tabla master in place as well as a young, very talented dancer, Akshiya. Also, Sima,
a yoga instructor at the Centre, gave us a talk titled “Why yoga is the answer”.
Thanks to all participants and to the Indian Cultural Centre for lending us the premises.

A special thank you goes out to Mrs Nada Abd El Gaffar from the DSG social committee, for
arranging and liaising and making this exciting event possible.

DSG Charity Bazaar Raised 73.2 Million Tanzanian Shillings for Projects. Congratulations!!

dsgdar — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:40:18 +0000

A special thank you and congratulations to 2011 Bazaar Chair, Julie-Wakeman Linn and her fabulous, hard-working committee. A whopping 73.2 Million T Shillings was raised to support the DSG projects. So many people, including hundreds of kids, enjoyed the DSG Annual Charity Bazaar on Saturday, 26th of November. The kids events were really “hopping” and “lots of fun,” Wakeman-Linn’s teenage and elementary school age friends reported. A special thanks to Anne Clarke who took over the EU/kids games at the 11th hour and helped the kids’ team make them such a success. The country stalls had an amazing variety of goods and the Dutch cheese sold out early. The team even had time to wander the country stalls and the white elephant and shop, too. Our first estimates are that, for the Fall fund raising season, we will exceed last year’s impressive totals. The Project committee will have a lot of cash for the most vulnerable of Tanzania.
It was a hot, but fun, family day, with few technological glitches. The Pan Percussion Orchestra opened the day. The IST students played and the Irish Dancers danced and Bethsaida girls sang. Yasmin Mulji won the grand prize of two KLM tickets and Debbie VanByndt won the Benetton tanzanite pendant.
