HURST GREEN


Tsunami appeal Members of Hurst Green and District Tsunami Appeal were delighted to hear at their latest


meeting tha t their efforts so far have raised £6,157. Since the fund's inaugura­ tion in . January, prompted by vil­ lagers wishing to do something for the victims of the Bo.\ing Day disaster, several events have been


organised. They include a Bring and Buy sale, a quiz, and a bingo night held for local schoolchildren, but the coffers were swelled by a donation from an anonymous benefactor of £2,500. The kind donor, based in the Far

East, has local con­ nections and pledged to match the total raised in the appeal's opening months.


The committee is still planning more events and beginning to dis­ perse the money raised so far. A speak­ er from Jesuit Mis-
