Eat so they can
Published Wednesday, 14 October 2009 by Li Ling H. in fundraising
I have to admit, I was a bit cynical about this at first glance - Eat so they can?
But upon reading more into it, it's really all about friends/community, and using something as simple as a home cooked meal & inviting others around to help collect funds for a worthy cause.
You could host a brunch, a lunch, a dinner, a cocktail party, a bbq - and your guests will just need to contribute e.g. $10 donation towards it.
Donations go to the Global Volunteer Network Foundation Global Children's Fund set up especially to aid children living in poverty.
It's meant to all happen this weekend - so anyone up for an impromptu meal with friends? : )

Did you run one of these events Li Ling? I went to one that a friend from work put on
The video they show of the previous year's donations being used to buy provisions in Kenya was pretty cool.
Hi! Nah, I didn't manage to, but would like to next time round or for anything really..it's such a simple idea that works!
