Carnival Fundraiser

In August the Mal Pais Education Project and school organised a Carnival fundraiser. Inflatable water slides were rented from San Jose, St Teresa Church lent us a stage and Jim and Lisa lent us a marquee to keep dry during the odd rain shower! Local bands - The Gypsy Crew, The Common People and The Kika Crew, all volunteered their time and rocked the crowd! Jez from Purasonica radio station kept the vibe inbetween sets and Artemis Cafe provided the speakers to bounce the sound out! The kitchen was full of mum's feeding the hungry crowd and the Bar was controlled by the dad's...funny how that worked out! Actually not true...Spencer and Brad cranked the BBQ all day! Barbara organised a raffle and children had their faces painted by teachers from the project and local artists Coco and Sandy, while henna tatoo's were provided by Audrey and Eric. Joffre and Maize juggled and entertained the crowd and the rainy season weather really played along and showed us some clear skies! It really felt like a community event and the day's fun also generated a good chunk of cash, so win win! Thanks to everyone for again showing your support!
