The raffles recently conducted by Mothers for Orphans were drawn at the Annual Dinner held at the Irish Club on September 26.

The crafted patchwork quilt donated by Alison from www.iquilt.com.au was won by Louise West of Port Douglas. The $1000 travel voucher was won by Kevin Kielly. Kevin was present at the dinner and generously gifted the voucher back to me to use for this year's trip to Zimbabwe!

Thank you to all those who purchased tickets.

The great Oliver 'Tuku' Mtukudzi is once again scheduled to play in Brisbane. He was supposed to play Brisbane last year but the gig was dropped from the tour. Let's hope he makes it this time!

The Mothers for Orphans 2008 Annual Dinner will be held on Friday 26 September 2008 in the Tara Balloom at the Queensland Irish Club in Brisbane's Elizabeth Street.

Tickets are $50 each. Guests will enjoy a delicious three-course dinner and wonderful entertainment. More details, including how to buy tickets, will be available here soon.

Alda C of Manly West in Queensland sponsored 10 orphans on Friday! That is a magnificent act. Friends of Mothers for Orphans now sponsor a total of 119 orphans!

Thank you Alda, thank you all.

God bless you

We just received a donation of $50 from a young man named Aaron. He couldn't get to our annual dinner in November last year, so has donated $50 instead! This wonderful act says a lot about Aaron and its all good.

You may of heard today that the Zimbabwean government has moved to stop the operation of foreign charities in the country. Due to our business model, this decree has no immediate effect on Mothers for Orphans. Just yesterday we paid Term 2 school fees for 101 orphaned high school students and 'A Level' exam fees for 6 orphans.

Tracy and Barry O'N have sponsored Linda from Zinatsa Primary. Thank you and may you (shortly) be blest!

Thank you to Hendrika and Jodie T from the Gold Coast for sponsoring 3 orphans. Your kindness is most appreciated.

I suspect one of our Manly-Warringah located sponsors may have used their annual tax-time consultation with their accountant to do a little promotion on Mothers for Orphans' behalf.

The staff at Allan Hall Chartered Accountants in Brookvale have made a generous donation of $220 to Mothers for Orphans. Thank you, Scott, Shayne and the team. If anyone down that way is looking for an accountancy firm with something special, please give them a call on (02) 9981 2300.
