YES FOLKS! this is it, The Big Faraja Gig will soon be upon us (SATURDAY 31ST OCT @ THE HALF TIME ORANGE, Burnmoor Street Leicester)

SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?

Our team has been really busy!

• We have been busy handing out fliers,

• adjusted the ticket price on the posters & fliers
  

• Heard the Pickpockets on TakeOver radio where the gig also got a mention,

• Helen (chairperson of Faraja Support) and band members from Produkty and the Weekend Schemers undertook a fantastic interview on BBC Radio Leicester on 24th October with Pinash on the 'into Africa Programme' (well done guys)

• We have now got three Media students (Ben, Harley & Joe) from South Leicestershire College, Wigston, Leicester, on board to video and take photos of the event. Thank you to Morgan for instigating and making it happen.
  

WHATS HAPPENING NEXT?

I will be undertaking an interview on LEICESTER SOUND Radio, which will be broadcast on Friday 30th October on 'the breakfast show with Ivan Dsa' (i am looking forward to that).

This gig is in aid of Faraja Support(Reg:1125285). The charity supports orphaned and impoverished children in Northern Tanzania. The charity is currently working towards two projects. The first is the establishment of a Home-from-Home and a property is currently being refurbished to be used as the first (of hopefully many) home for children in genuine need of support. The second is a truely innovative mobile play scheme - a fully equipped vehicle and two play workers will move around villages bringing play to children who would otherwise have no access to any form of early years learning.
