This wine event was led by Elisa Crye, a New York Wine Connoisseur at Alderton House as a benefit for Harambee USA Foundation Nursing Scholarship Program for aspiring students at Monkole Nursing School, D R Congo. This is what the Harambee team had to say about it:
Hello Harambee team,
How is everyone?
I’m happy to report that we had a nice turn out at last Friday’s wine tasting event in Alderton. About 30 people came to taste the Rose wines and listen to our sommelier, Elisa Crye, as well as learn about Harambee and the Scholarship program.
Johanna’s video presentation of the teachers and students at Monkole Hospital Nursing school struck a nerve in the audience. (Thanks to Nicole for sending materials—they help a lot in our fund raising efforts). They really empathized with the nursing students and appreciated the transparency of our program. Hearing that 100% of their donation goes to the fund helped too!!
Year to date, we have received 5 sponsorships (donating $1,400 each) to cover 5 nursing students for 2019 schoolyear. We have this momentum going into October’s benefit and hope to get at least another 5 sponsorships.
Whoo-hoo! Let’s keep it going team!
Best,
Isabel
PS - food and wine were delicious!
