“It was a pleasure to work with you on this noble cause.  I felt really proud to be associated with  people like you who are taking the burden for underprivileged children in different parts of the globe. I wish your organisation every success.  With best wishes”

Mint Leaf Fundraising Event

ABCD held a very successful fundraiser at the Mint Leaf restaurant off the Haymarket on Tuesday, 14 October. Georgina Mortimer talked briefly about our work helping disabled children in the Bethlehem area and then Mint Leaf head chef Ajay Chopra regaled us with a demonstration of how to prepare some fine Indian dishes. This was followed by a mellow wine tasting. Then came the delicious 3-course lunch incorporating the dishes prepared earlier.

A heartfelt thank you to all our guests for supporting the event. We have raised a substantial sum which will help continue keeping these disadvantaged children in good care in very difficult times.

We also raised awareness of our work and gleaned much interest in visiting Bethlehem to see our work at first hand. Please contact Alison Driscoll (see contact us), ABCD’s Project Manager if you would like any further information.
