The ‘African Adventure’ event on Thursday 10th of July was an amazing success. Co-hosted with the Aeolus networking company, the Sumerian Foundation managed to not just raise awareness of the work being done, but also a whopping £20,000 in donations.

Some fantastic lots were won in the auction, including a signed photograph of football sensation Pele and a safari holiday to Kenya. Johari’s lastest designs were modelled in the fashion show which went down a storm. We were even lucky enough to have this year’s Miss Kenya grace the runway in the newest dresses.

The Johari jewellery was a great success among the guests, with sales of over £1,000.

The evening saw also the premiere of a pretty amazing film about the Foundations work in Kenya produced and donated by Susan Doak of Century21Media, which was deeply touching and gave a great picture of the Foundation model and programmes.

Singing superstar Sara Mitaru travelled all the way from Nairobi with her band to perform some of her greatest hits. Overall, the whole night was a huge hit from the African cuisine to the catwalk creations.

Thanks to everyone who made it at special as it was.
