We met the most amazing people who are struggling through very difficult circumstances every day of their lives as a result of war, HIV, famine and even extreme rainy seasons. Whilst survival is a daily challenge we found people full of grace, hope and love. There was laughter and tears in each day as we were faced with the reality of other people’s daily life.
To find out more about our experiences please visit Choc-Affair Chicks on Face book or http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/choc-affairchicks
We are passionate about making a difference but can only do this with your help. Together we can bring about change for others. Love, Linda, Gilly, Mariah, Olivia and Ella xx
Gift Cards make an interesting alternative gift for Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries, or as a ‘thank you’ for a meal or favour. The entire amount listed by each card, plus any tax reclaimed, goes to the project.
When we do donate we often wonder what difference it will really make, and how much of it will ever reach it’s intended destination. A further thought is often ‘here we go again – will they never learn to be independent/self-sufficient?’ - Ask yourself which of these thoughts and actions can be applied to you.
The Choc-affair Chicks – Gilly, Linda, Mariah, Olivia and Ella recently went to do mission work in a small town in Uganda, and we believe that we have seen somewhere where we can make a real difference to individual lives and this is why we need your help – however you feel you can give it
Read on to find out ways that you can make a difference, but before you do please read the starfish story - We cannot all save the world and fix humanities problems – everywhere we look they seem to be overwhelming. What we can do, as the following story shows us, is each make a difference to one or two other lives.

Honey producers in Kenya know that the key to securing long-term, sustainable income from honey production lies in preserving their fragile environment.
Traidcraft is helping Kenyan beekeepers to overcome environmental ‘shocks’ like drought by conserving and protecting their natural habitat. Because beekeeping can only be successful with good environmental management, small-scale Kenyan honey producers are reaping the benefits through increased quantity and quality of their produce.
A Christmas gift of £25 could help beekeepers like Molo and Elisabeth generate increased income from their honey even at times of drought.
