Charity puts on Wild West show in London to raise funds for Rwanda
Grab your partner by the hand...
A small charity is running a rooting tooting rodeo event...
The evening of fun will raise funds for a sustainable educational project in Rwanda.
MAD4Africa which is run by volunteers invites supporters and Wild West fans out there to have a good time by dressing up with Stetson and boots, and perhaps trying out some line dancing, or even for the bravest budding Buffalo Bill or Cattle Kate, riding on the mechanical bull…
The charity event takes place on the evening of Saturday February 11, 8pm until late at The George Shillibeer, N7 - with proceeds going to MAD4Africa's educational training centre in Rwanda.
The rodeo hoedown promises plenty of laughs and games, including a prize for the longest rodeo rider on the bull and all in a good cause. The event will support the Kiyonza Professional Training Centre in the Ngoma Sector of Rwanda, a training facility which helps young people build sustainable futures for themselves and their communities.
The Kiyonza Professional Training Centre is in a very poor region of Rwanda and trains young people who are not enrolled within the education system, are unemployed or without any recognisable skills.
This training for young men and women includes life training like language skills and traditional trades like tailoring, carpentry and construction.
The centre is based in Kiyonza, a small village, close to the Burundian border which holds about 20,000 inhabitants but has meagre facilities, including no access to running water.
MAD4Africa says attendance at the centre is free and although the centre is equipped and up and running it needs ongoing support, and the charity also hopes to maintain and extend its services.
MAD4Africa was formed in March 2008 and is a UK and Rwandan registered charity. The charity runs regular fundraising events and hopes to ensure the long-term sustainability of its training centre and also develop future development projects…
