AROUND THE WORLD FUNDRAISER

 

Light of the World Charities hosted a fun, fundraising event on Saturday, 28 September 2013 in our new location.

 Some of our dedicated volunteers spent hours cooking tasty morsels originating from the localities we visit.  To list a few of the items available: empanadas from Honduras, curried beef from Haiti and Samosas from Tanzania.  We also provided beer from the locations, alas, the wines were more commonplace.

 Our visitors had the opportunity to tour our new office and warehouse space, enjoy phenomenal photos taken by our own Ron Ashley and speak with many volunteers who have made numerous mission trips with Light of the World. Our visitors enjoyed speaking with many of us and hearing first-hand accounts of what we really do on our missions.

One lucky visitor. Luz Elera, won a cruise for two in our raffle, she was truly excited.  Those who didn’t win the cruise still enjoyed the experience shared by all of us.   Joe Risi, owner,  St Lucie West Cruises, Tours & More, donated the cruise.

 We anticipate repeating our fundraising event again in the future with new and exciting tastes, stories and experiences.
