Children’s Ark Project at Christmas
December 21st, 2007 by Lloyd Gofton
As it’s the last day before we close the office for Christmas, I wanted to put my excitement to one side for a moment and get onto the serious issue of gifts!
This year, we at Liberate Media have decided not to send chocolates, wine, or naff corporate gifts. Like many other responsible companies we’ve decided to make a donation to charity, which some of you will have been made aware of in our Christmas cards. As part of that donation we’d like to offer a bit of publicity, which seems apt for a PR company, starting with this post.
I hope you’ll forgive the shameless plug on this occasion.
The cause that we’ve selected is something very close to our hearts. It’s called the Children’s Ark Project and its purpose is to fund, establish and run a Montessori nursery for young children belonging to child-headed households in Kigali, Rwanda.
Designs for the school building are complete, and the charity is currently focused on raising sufficient funds for the build, which is where our donation will go. Once built, the nursery’s principal objective will be to restore a piece of childhood to young children who have lost their parents during the genocide, through subsequent imprisonment of through HIV/AIDS or TB.
More information on the charity is available at the Children’s Ark Project Website, and if you would like to make a donation, here’s the Just giving link.
Thanks for your interest and from all of us at Liberate Media have a wonderful Christmas and new year.
