Haven't seen any details of this posted here, sorry if I've missed a thread. A great Bristol charity called Temwa are having a charity auction this Saturday 10th June. You can attend the auction on the day or bid online. This link takes you to the auction catalogue and online bidding details: temwa.org/events/art-africa-2017/and this is a little from their website about how the money raised will be used: "We work in remote, rural areas of northern Malawi – where 40% of the population live on less than £1 a day, 16% are HIV-positive, and one in three people struggle to feed themselves each day. Our mission is to develop self-sufficient communities by supporting projects in education, health, agriculture and forestry, and microfinance. These projects: •train villagers in the importance of good nutrition and sustainable farming; •plant trees to combat the effects of deforestation and climate change; •run mobile HIV testing clinics and establish HIV support groups; •promote young children’s literacy skills and fund students through secondary school; •provide microfinance loans to budding entrepreneurs"
