Wednesday 22nd May
Date & Time: Wednesday 22nd May. 6pm - 9pm.
Where: Queen of Hearts (Enterprise Road). Details: It's a Scrabble tournament (2 player games though people can play for fun if they want) where every penny of the 10usd entrance will go towards operations for young women from rural areas outside Harare who are suffering from obstetric fistulas (severe post childbirth complications) and raise awareness about fistulas which lead to hellish lives for the afflicted young women but is hardly ever spoken about because of the nature of the problems and the stigma and embarrassment attached to them. There's more info at http://gogetfunding.com/project/dignity. Queen of Hearts will kindly put on some free (part of the 10usd at least) home-made soup and bread and there will be a cash bar. We want to ask that everyone bring their own scrabble sets if they have one. |
