Braai-lliant*
23 June 2009
A few months ago, we challenged people, churches and groups to hold braais (or South African barbecues) to mark father’s day and give a boost to street children – who have often grown up without a father in their lives.
Really big thanks and kudos to those who got out the barbecue tongs and took us up on the challenge. Here’s the Henley braai (not fancy-pants Henley in Arden, or big old Henley-on-Thames, but the really important Henley – pop. 560, hearts: the biggest in the world). Read that again – population 560 – because the good people of Henley raised nearly £500 between them. Awesome. I’m blown away and very grateful.
The smallest attendee of the barbecue also lent his support.
Father’s day is over for another year, but the summer is ahead of us so braai season continues! Do contact us for recipes, info and encouragement if you’d like to support the Street Child World Cup by holding a braai yourself.
