Fund Raising Day Wednesday 8th June 2011 HendonGolf Club, London NW7 1DG. Tee Off times and Cost TBA.
The Eskimo Golf Society has already exceeded the wildest dreams of its founders by raising more than £230,000.00 for the 'street children' of Latin America. And although 100% of every penny collected goes straight to providing the 'front line' services that give relief and hope, more is needed if this vital work is to continue. With your help we hope to beat last years £20,000 donation presented by Tom Beisty.Unicef estimate that 100 million minors scavenge to survive in cities worldwide, they are persecuted and sometimes even murdered by 'clean up' squads employed by local businesses or the police. We should be proud that the health and education programmes etc. supported with the money we've raised, has made a difference in these slums and shanty towns, not only for the lives saved, but because these programmes show what can be achieved - and this helps influence greater support from government and non government organisations and international relief agencies - so it is vital that we continue to demonstrate that we have respect and concern for our fellow human beings wherever they live on this planet we share.. We must never forget that we live a relatively secure lifestyle within a community and network of friends and family here, but others elsewhere are not so lucky and barely exist in awful slums and degradation, unloved and living in fear, hunger and hoplessness every day of their lives - . Our fund raising day, now in it's twenty eighth year, is a simple, easy and enjoyable way of supporting this humanitarian appeal to improve their lives - you can't help unless you are asked and neither can anyone else - so please be as generous as you can and pass it on to influence your own circle of friends - evil exists when good men do nothing - but working together everything is possible and we all gain in the long run. Not everyone can come and play golf or sponsor a hole at Northwood but it is hoped that everyone reading this will make an extra effort to join us and consider giving something if they can't. Simply click on the 'Donate Link' below or make a cheque out to the Eskimo Golf Society - anything from the price of a pint will be greatly appreciated by those working out there - and really will make a difference. Thank you.
