Clear Blue Skies Team send aid to African Charities

For several years now, the staff and partners at Tenerife Estate Agency, Clear Blue Skies Group, have worked with various charities sending funds to children in Africa. This year, they have decided to split the contribution between Save the Children and Children in Watamu, a children's charity operating in Kenya.

Suzie Perry, Sales Manager at Clear Blue, continues the story, "we raise money from a number of areas including Paul and Danny running a half marathon in Las Galletas and money raised from raffles and auctions at our annual party, and this money, 4000 euros, we gave to Save the Children to help their works in Africa. We also allocate money each time the business sells a property, and we decided this year to send this money, 3450 euros, to the charity of one of our clients, Sue Hayward. The charity is called Children of Watamu (www.childrenofwatamu.net) and has already built 3 schools in eastern Kenya, and our funds will go to kit out a medical centre in the orphanage they are building. Clear Blue have accepted a challenge to raise 10,000 euros to buy a minibus for the Children of Watamu before 4th July 2010, and we would welcome any suggestions of ways of raising money."

Clear Blue Skies once again were able to make a contribution of nearly 4000 euros, thanks to the sterling efforts of Paul and Danny (pictured) who suffered extreme temperatures to complete the 2010 Las Galletas Half Marathon, and this was sent by our friends at Rational FX to The Children of Watamu. Thank you to all of our clients and friends, for your kind generosity, I hope you all received your commemorative tee shirts.
