Norvic Challenge Triathlon

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Just Children Foundation would like to say a big thank you to the staff of the Norvic clinic (a unit of the Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health Partnership) who competed in the Norvic Challenge Triathlon on the 17th October raising £1141 for the Just Children Foundation. The same amount was also donated to the Indian charity El Shaddai.

The pictures show the three aspects of the triathlon which were a run from the Norvic Clinic to Little Plumstead Hospital, cycling to Salhouse Broad and a canoe circuit on the broad. Thank you again, this time to Rojo Levein who supplied the pictures.

Cream Tea

A beautiful garden in Rochester was the setting for a garden tea party on the 6th June which was a great success with many cream teas consumed and other opportunities to spend money and support work in Zimbabwe.

A good number of people turned out to support this event and the weather held – not quite as hot as the week before though. One of the UK trustees gave a short presentation at the end of the day.
