It’s exactly 14 days to D-day from today, the day this blog is published. ATRUD volunteers are working round the clock, sending out invitations, making phone calls, talking to suppliers in charge of event paraphernalia and answering questions from curious sympathizers. Decorations at the event venue have kicked off and everything is pointing to an exciting fundraising Christmas party on Sunday the 22nd of December 2019 at the LoL Snack Bar located at exit 3 of the Jiading Xincheng Subway Station of Line 11 of the Shanghai Metro.
The unique event is expected to draw a huge crowd considering the fact that it will be taking place just 3 days to Christmas day and the fact that it will be rich in entertainment and special guests. Shanghai based budding star Blackbone will be performing live at the event and a big majority of Africans based in the metropolitan city of Shanghai and neighboring cities will be attending.
The event venue, a modest but very popular snack bar can take at most 200 guests sitting conveniently. For that reason, the organizing team is appealing to attendees to confirm their participation in advance for better planning. With the presence of the rising star Blackbone performing live, there are fears that the venue will be too crowded but extra measures are being taken to handle the situation if the need arises. To be sure not to get into any hassles for seats, confirm your participation and arrive on time on December 22nd. The party begins at exactly 6pm.
The event is organized within the framework of activities marking the end of year fundraising drive launched by ATRUD in the last quarter of this year in an effort to raise more funds for the assistance of more victims from the ongoing conflict in Cameroon.
“Funds raised from this event will be directed to two major projects: Financial assistance to children who have dropped out of school because of the crisis and medical assistance to the sick and the wounded from the conflict zones” ATRUD’s founder Mr. N.E Tabort has indicated. He has appealed to Africans as well as non-Africans in China to show their goodwill and generosity towards the suffering people fleeing from the conflict in Cameroon. This event, come December 22nd, will be the first major fundraising drive launched by ATRUD in China.
Individuals, groups, companies or organizations wishing to support this end-of-year fundraising drive even without attending the party can get in touch with ATRUD by scanning the QR codes on the posters above and here below.
May 2020 be a better year for ATRUD and partners. See you at the party!
