Party / Charity: The Sunday Fix, Mar 11 2012 @ Casablanca Club

by with No Comment charityparties

The Sunday Fix is a new electro/house music event which will be held on the second Sunday of every month from 3-9pm with all proceeds going to Kenya Children’s Homes/Thomas Barnardo House orphanage, Langata Rd.

The idea is for young music lovers – to bring good quality house music to Nairobi with acclaimed local and international DJs but with all proceeds going to the home. Entry is just 600kes and every penny of each ticket goes directly back to the children of our orphanages. Fundraising isn’t an easy game these days, but feeding, educating and providing a safe and loving home for our children is an absolute necessity. Hence, The Sunday Fix was born to boost much needed funds for the home and to bring top quality house music afternoon in the sun to Nairobi.

Not to be missed – a good Sunday night party is a rare treat!!

Charity Event – Screening of “Life Before Death”, Feb 4 2012 @ Braeburn School

by with No Comment charitymovies

Kenya Hospices and Palliative Care Association (http://kehpca.org ) and Kenya Cancer Association are holding a special film screening at Braeburn School on Saturday 4 February 2012, 2.30pm.

The event will be a charity awareness film event for World Cancer day, which is an initiative that takes place in countries across the world every year. The film to be screened, Life Before Death, is a multi-award winning documentary about terminally ill patients, their families and the extraordinary health care professionals fighting to change the culture of medicine to be more focused on care, rather than exclusively on cure. It is an intimate hopeful and life-affirming collection of stories about living well and dying better. The film travels to 11 countries, and through the eyes of patients and their families we discover the inherent humanity that empowers the best of us to care for those beyond cure.

The Kenya World Cancer Day theme song ‘I Fight For You’ featuring Abbi Nyinza, Ilaria Della Bidia and Charlie Lustman will be launched during the event.

The event is free to attend.

Fundraising: Support ‘Spray Can Safari’ – the movie

Spray Uzi, kings of Kenya’s nascent graffiti scene, are on a mission to show the world that there is more to Africa than child soldiers, emaciated babies and unaccountable despots.

These four artists have been invited to travel to Djibouti, to help with the renovation of a youth community centre. The trip will take them through Ethiopia, where they will join forces with local artists and youth organizations for a series of public art shows and installations.

Katy Fentress, a freelance journalist residing in Kenya, has decided to video-document the trip. She sees this as an innovative way to attempt to readjust some of the negative PR that Africa and Africans are subjected to.

The film will aim to be a playful way of conveying an important message that is often willfully ignored by the media and the global aid industry. This is a unique opportunity to show people across the world that we have spent too much time looking at Africans as if they are helpless victims.
