Zulu flight fund - Thank You

[jacey]

I wanted to say thank you to those people who who boosted the signal and donated towards the emergency fund for Mzwandile's air ticket home to attend his brother's funeral. We managed to get him home in time for the funeral and back again. I said I'd keep you informed and so here is is and the finances currently stand like this:

Mzwandile's flight cost £753. Through donations from yourselves and from musicians from the Britfolk list we managed to raise £576 in total leaving only a balance of £177 for the Zulus to find - a much less daunting prospect than trying to raise £753.

Donations came from all over the UK and from as far away as Australia, the USA and Eastern Europe. Everyone who donated should now have received their thank-you CD from me of a Zulu Tradition CD

Once again, many thanks. You know who you are.

I'm so glad that he got to the funeral in time and that you managed to get him back again to perform with the group.

If anyone hasn't bought the CD yet, I can highly recommend it. It's one of my current favourites. :)
