'Telling Our Story ’: Black History Month & Fundraising Event
The Waltham Forest, Antigua & Barbuda and Dominica Twinning Association held a fundraising event with the theme 'Telling our Story' at the Lister Hall, Leytonstone High Road Methodist Church. ‘Telling our Story’ was an exhibition of performances that were carefully crafted in a series of creative writing workshops under the auspices of Jane U. Grell, a local poet, singer and storyteller of both national and international repute.
The Telling Our Stories Black History Month event October 2017 also served to raise funds for Hurricane Maria and Irma.
The event exceeded its target by raising £540.42 which was evenly distributed between the rebuilding Barbuda and Dominica funds and Diabetes UK, which is the Mayor of Waltham Forest’s chosen charity for 2017-18.
The Twinning Association is grateful to all those who attended the event and look forward to their continued support.
