Taste of Africa

Help support volunteer, Candice Madalena.

She is going to Africa to help with the urgent need for volunteers in Uganda. $10.00 will get you a
ticket into a draw for some great prizes like a night in a deluxe suite at
the Hotel Grand Pacific, gift certificates to Hemp and Company, Blue Fox
and John's Place, an ice cream maker, cook books, African wine and so much
more.

The draw will take place on September 8, 2007 at the store Beyond the
Kitchen Door in Courtenay BC (274 5th Street). From 1pm-6pm chef James
Street will be preparing authentic African dishes as well as beverages for
everyone to try. All of the proceeds will go towards Candice's trip to
Africa and any money made in excess will be used to take necessary medical
supplies to the hospital. The $10.00 gets you an entry into the draw, but
anyone can stop by and enjoy a taste of Africa. Attendance is NOT
necessary to win a prize and support a great cause.

Candice is volunteering through the International Christian Medical
Institute (ICMI - www.icmicanada.com), this program was founded 10 years
ago and aims to improve the lifestyle of Ugandans by training them to
become health administrators. She will be teaching courses and
volunteering at the hospital to help.

If you are interested in buying a ticket please e-mail Candice at
madalena@uvic.ca, or phone at (250) 686-4225 and state how many tickets
you would like, as well as your name and phone number so that she can
contact you if you win :) The money for the draw entry can be paid by
cheque made out to Candice Madalena, and sent to 3110 Richmond Road,
Victoria, BC, V8P 4P1

Thank you for your support
