Category: Tacugama | Date: Oct 30 2009 | By: tacugama
If you’re going to be in Barcelona, Spain on the 11th or 13th of November or London, UK on the 21st November then we’d love to meet up with you!!
Bala Amarasekaran, Tacugama’s founder and Programme Director will be speaking at two fundraising evenings being organised on our behalf and if you could come along and give us your support it would be great to see you there.
Also in Barcelona there will be a launch of the Catalan book Un Estiu a Tacugama (A summer in Tacugama), which has just been published.The trip to Europe is the result of an invitation from the Sierra Leone office of the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) for Tacugama to take part in an awareness raising event (click here for more information) for donors and investors in the country. It’s a great chance to raise our international profile and make new friends for the sanctuary. We’ve also been lucky that friends of Dr Rosa have organised events in Barcelona especially to coincide with the trip out of Sierra Leone.We’re looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible at the following events - please tell your friends and family and bring them along with you also!BARCELONA - for more information on both these events telephone +34 669 866204)Wednesday 11th November, 7pmLaunch by Pilar Garriga of her latest children’s novel: Un Estiu a Tacugama at the Abacus Cooperativa - Sala Juli Vela, c/ Còrsega, 269, Barcelona.Friday 13th November, 9pmDinner at the Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza, Placa d’Espanya 6-8.

What a wonderful opportunity to spread the word about Tacugama! I hope the fund raising is enormously successful. The chimps will steal the hearts of everyone I’m sure.
