JAMBO sponsors two children (one from the Philippines and one from Malawi in Central Africa) through this wonderful organization. The proceeds will go towards financial support of these children. So you can have an enjoyable evening and help a good cause at the same time.
If you’d like to go with David, meet at the SoshigayaOokura Station’s ticket gate at 6:40PM.
In cooperation with Earth Embassy, JAMBO is collecting clothes for Ronnie Sseruyange, a young man who was a street child in Kampala, UGANDA and is now working to help the street children there. He is renting a spot in Kampala’s large market to be a vendor in the hopes of selling used clothes and other items to make some money to get some farm land and set up a place for Kampala’s street children. If you have any summer clothes you’d like to donate, please let David know (at this email address) and bring them on October 2.
