Although the AWCH has been supporting the ITWDP for only a short time, we have already raised 120€ at the Bunco Game Fundraiser and 755€ from the 2011 AGM Silent Auction and 154€ from the book sale also at the AGM. What a great way to start the year! Thanks to all who have helped us get this far.
Can You Count to Three?
Well, if you can, you can play Bunco: A fun game of dice that does not require any special skills (except for the counting part). On December 28th, eleven of us gathered for an evening of food, fun and fund raising at Tracy M.'s home. After some great food and drink, we sat down for the serious (;-)) part of the evening: to play Bunco.
Tracy explained the rules and soon the only thing you could hear from a group of otherwise very intelligent and well educated people was „One, … two, …“ or just „One, ...one“, with an occasional „Bunco“ thrown in. When that happened, the stuffed teddy bear mascot for the evening went flying from whoever had it last to the latest one to get Bunco.
While taking a well-deserved break in between, Ulrike H. talked more about the water project that we were raising funds for. Although there were three winners from Bunco, the real winner was the ITWDP project – all those who won donated their prize money to the project, so all money collected went to this very worthy cause.
I for one can't wait for the next Bunco night!
Silent Auction at January AGM raises money for Watershed project.
Due to the fact that the AWC Hamburg, as an eingetragene Vereine or e.V., is unable to donate monies to organizations which are not registered in Germany, FAWCO’s target water project in Cambodia will not benefit from our successful fundraising. So that we can still make a difference to human lives and help them afford access to fresh water, we have chosen to support the Integral Tribal Watershed Development Programme (registered with the Jesuitenmission in Nürnberg), which club member Ulrike H: has been supporting for quite a few years now.
