Hi Supper Clubbers

Amanda, Elaine, Penny will be doing a Halloween special Supper Club this Thursday, 31st October at 7h30. We’re planning a starter of Thai Pumpkin Soup followed by a traditional South African dish from my home town, Cape Town, called Bobotie and rice. This is a minced based dish and is very aromatic with garam masala, cumin, allspice chutney etc. I will also do a vegetarian option using . The dessert is Penny’s apple bakewell, Halloween style.

Tickets are on sale at Herbaceous.

We look forward to seeing you all.
Do feel free to come dressed for the occasion.

St Mary's Hall Whitstable 7.30pm - 11.00pm
Tickets £20 (includes Mozambican food from Sidonio)

The evening is particularly special, not only because we have Celso Paco from Mozambique to play for us, but because the situation in Mozambique has just become alarmingly tense. Following a series of escalating incidents over the past few weeks, and two days ago, the spokesperson for the opposition party in Mozambique declared the end of the 21 year old peace accord - the same Peace that we have been celebrating in Whitstable every October every year since we arrived in 2007.

This dinner dance now marks the beginning of our efforts to play our small part in ensuring the rising tensions in the country do not devastate the lives of another generation of children.

Sidonio and I will be in Mozambique in December/Jan and would like to personally take a donation from the people of Whitstable to the Chamisava Children's Centre, a rural children's cultural centre we have close connections with in Catembe, a small town like Whitstable, on the coast not far from the Capital. Chamisava Children's centre uses arts and culture to bring children (orphans and children with struggling parents) together. The civil war was fierce in this area and tensions still run high between the two sides. Giving the children and parents opportunities to be together whichever side they are on is now more important than ever. We will spend time at the centre and will use any money we raise to provide them with whatever they see as their most immediate needs. We will report back on how your money was spent when we return.

So, let's celebrate the love and warmth of Mozambique and see if we can make a difference at the same time.

If you are unable to come but would like to make a donation please get in touch. We will soon be announcing a way this can also be done on line.

See you there
Karen & Sidonio
