Afternoon tea on


When around 90 people are expected to arrive for after­ noon tea, it poses quite a lo­ gistical challenge. That was the case when


the-Inner Wheel Club of Ribblesdale held its annual “overseas meeting” at Pend­ leton Village Hall. But thanks to the organ-'


isers Val Sharp and Carol Cowell, and the support of the club’s other members, all were provided with a se­ lection of dainty sandwiches and tempting cakes, served on elegant china tea sets. The overseas meeting


raises funds specifically for agood cause which is - as the


■ name suggests - overseas. So before the tasty delights could be sampled; Val Sharp read a report and slides were


■ shownaboutthisyear’s ben­ eficiary.


. This was done on behalf


of Elizabeth Gomm, who is the volunteer co-ordinator in the UK for Happy House, an orphanage in Kenya. Elizabeth had hoped to


be present herself, but had been called out to Kenya to


help with one of the current projects, which will help to extend the length of time' the Happy House can help; its children.


„ i The Happy House was


.opened in March, 2010,' in Watamu, Kenya, and at present provides a home for, 58 orphaned, abandoned,


- neglected or abused chil­ dren ranging in age from a few months to the teens. It


; ward, a former Blackpool - hotelier. She and her hus- ; band are “mama and papa" vto these children, who find love, safety and family in a place where they are nur-


. istheinspirationofSueHay-


, .tured and nourished. ■ ; This registered charity is


called Children of Watamu arid thanks to the afternoon tea - which also featured a


-raffle, bring-and-buy stall . i and the Goldilocks range of' I handbags, scarves and cos­ tume jewellery for sale - the sumofaroundfi700willsoon be on its way’to support the work of the House, where on-, ly the Kenyan staff are paid.
