We need people to know about the auction and help our Twitter/Social Media team
(EMMA FROST - @EmmaFrostLondon, SARAH HAMILTON - @SarahHamiltonPS,
OWEN LEWIS - @TheOwenLewis and KAREN ROSE - @KarenRose20) spread the word.

If each of you would be willing to take just a couple of minutes to send this on, then it would be Job Done!

WHY YOUR HELP IS SO VALUED.......

The work we do changes children's lives in profound ways and every single penny we raise is spent directly on the children, as our team are volunteers who give of their time and energies voluntarily.

This work matters, but fundraising is increasingly difficult in these cash-strapped times and that’s why we rely heavily on the support and generosity of friends like you.

Thank you for reading this. And – we hope – thank you for being willing to email or tweet this document far and wide. Just a few minutes of your time will help to make the biggest difference to the lives of some wonderful children in Nairobi.
And finally... WATCH THIS SPACE for the LAUNCH...

Very Best Wishes and again, our warmest THANKS,

Bee Gilbert - Director of ANNO'S AFRICA.
