Friends Of Matthew Rusike Children's Home
Registered charity 1120944
The Christmas cards for this year are now available. Please note we are no longer supplying new designs, just selling off the remaining packs – at less than our original 2004 price – £2.50 for 10!
Please also note, packs are no longer automatically sent out to members. So, if you would like a pack or two please contact the Chairman to place your order.
You can see the remain designs here – 11, 13 and 14 – please state clearly which designs you want.
As always the newsletter is full of information from the Home. This particular quote really struck me this time…
“You will be amazed how costs are rising. Yesterday morning I boarded a bus for town for $1.50, but after my exams-around 5pm-the bus fare was $5.00”.
On a more positive note the MRCH Big Sunday fundraiser raised £4,195 for the Home as well as receiving lots of goods in kind – though this is down on previous years.
Finally, a book by Graham Jones describing the life and work of Astonishment Mapurisa – a former Director of the Home is coming out in September. It will be available on Amazon ‘Astonishment:Laying Ghosts in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe’.
We are making our policy documents for child protection and anti bribery available for you to view.
