A fundraiser in aid of The House of Hope Charity will be held in the bar on saturday night Feb. the 13th. The House of Hope was founded by Edward Muyoboke in 1988 out of an urgent need to save children in an area where hundreds are orphaned by war and HIV. This charity is located in Kasese ,Uganda near the borders of Congo and Rwanda. Edward grew up in a refugee camp and got asylum in Canada. For 22 years he has taken in homeless children initially in a house he had built . Now the children stay in school where they get food education and a place to sleep. The older children are in college -some have graduated. The building in which the children originally lived is now a refuge for women who have been displaced by war and cannot return to their families.Some of their families are dead and some were raped and in their society cannot go home. Edward has been ill with cancer but he cannot give up on his orphans . Please come to this fundraiser and help keep the House of Hope Charity strong.
