Have a Go At Art -  'For Africa' Saturday 12th June 2010 -
St Wilfreds Church Hall, Padnell Road, Cowplain.
Why not take part in this wonderful opportunity to improve your artistic skills and raise funds for Africa at the same time.
The idea is that you pay a fee and then you can paint or draw in company of more experienced who will be able to give you advice and help you to improve.
If you are a more accomplished artist you can still take part and produce a work of art that we can later auction off to add to the fundraising efforts.
The proceeds of the day will be devided between our Projects in Uganda and Projects in Ghana.
It will cost £15 per person to take part but the artistic materials will be supplied.
Contact the Twinning Project or St Wilfreds Church for more details.

Gift Donations
 
Searching for a Birthday or Christmas Present
Not sure what to give the person who has everything? 
Then why not consider a Gift Donation.
 
You make a donation in the name of person you are looking to give too and they receive a certificate plus their name (and yours) appears on the Supporters and Contributors page of our website.
 
But the real present is the fact that they and you will know, that together you will have made a real contribution to the conservation and communities of Queen Elizabeth National Park
