Our bead stall at Holy Innocents wonderful Autumn Fair last Saturday was a great success. The whole event was lovely with something to please everyone; a very popular bouncy castle with a slide and a fabulous puppet show for the kids, live music, gorgeous food, raffles, tombolas and more. Everyone had a great time.
We were given a table in our usual place, just near the entrance, perfect for everyone to see us. We sold lots of beautiful jewellery and lovely Christmas decorations, raising a brilliant £122!
All the items we sell are made in South Africa by Woza Moya & Friends, the award-winning social enterprise project run by the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust in South Africa.
