How much did we earn in 2007 and where is it going?

Through the efforts of a large group of volunteers, in 2007 African AIDS Angels raised $75,000.

Donation Sources:

Victoria shops: $8000
Out of Town groups: $15,500
Angel makers: $8300 informally, among friends and acquaintances
Home Fair/Tea: $6200 in one afternoon
Craft Fairs: $5000
Seeds for Malawi (Saltspring): $14,000

The rest is made up of generous donations and many small fundraisers.
These figures are rounded. A detailed financial report will be presented at our AGM later this year. The total is slightly higher than 2006.

Where will it make a difference in southern Africa?

The Board of Directors decided that the money raised will be spent as follows:

1. Zambia orphanage

$5000 has been sent to the building fund
$10,000 will go for orphan support
$7000 will be considered for a new project proposal

2. South Africa orphanage

$12,000 will go for orphan support
$2000 will go for community outreach (family support)

3. South Africa hospital

$20,000 will go for support of mothers & children with HIV

4. Malawi agriculture & family support

$14,000 has been sent from Saltspring's Seeds for Malawi
$3000 will go for hospice programs.

A small balance covers expenses, mainly angel bodies and printing.
These figures are rounded. A detailed financial report will be presented at our AGM later this year.

New group in Los Angeles

A group of keen angel makers has formed in Los Angeles, and a shop in Venice California is displaying their work. These photos show their creative dreadlocks for hair. They also have good display tool: it's a tree branch in a vase full of sand. Congratulations.
