Feast for Friends

And so we enter the final phase of the 'footprint project'. We are hoping with all our hearts that this is not the end but the beginning of a new phase and new adventures!

Friday the 30th July will see the Feast for Friends held at Wakefield House at Morphett Vale, SA. We have taken the approach of having nothing to lose and everything to gain in our celebration of the achievements of so many people over the past (almost) two years.

It is vital that as privileged individuals living in a beautiful and free country we do not become complacent about the situation of others. Very importantly, we need to remember that while there are certainly people suffering in our own country, our responsibility as part of the global community is not diminished by this fact. Our activity - or lack of activity- in supporting universal health, goodwill and peace will eventually, sooner or later, impact on us in Australia. The concept of 'global neighbours' is becoming more and more apparent and literal - the countries that surround Australia are becoming more and more a significant part of our economy and health status. Wars, faltering and failing economies,disease,climate change and pollution are impacting upon us all and it is critical that our 'world view' extends beyond the boundaries of our own four walls.

For this fundraising dinner we are inviting local businesses to contribute through donations of meal ingredients and items for the Silent Auction. In return, we will promote the local businesses, encouraging those who attend the dinner to remember local businesses when shopping. In this way the dinner will be not only supporting an international cause but also local causes and businesses.

Ingredients for the dinner will be purchased through independent grocers such as local IGA's as opposed to the large supermarkets and fair trade products will be sourced wherever possible.

The countdown is on...30th July @ 7pm is rapidly approaching...goat cooked on a spit, traditional foods of a variety of countries of the African continent and a wonderful celebration!
