OUR OLD PEOPLE IN BULAWAYO PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATE

Whilst most of us know our old people are suffering in Zimbabwe, and that most of them have families who could support them and don't, here are a few facts :-

Food for Homes Bulawayo (FHB) is headed by Craig Hunt and Brian Ray who collect and distribute food and goods to nine homes in Bulawayo. These are :-
Barbara Burell
Jacaranda House
Queen Mary
Railstyn
Verity Am
Garden Park
Edith Duly
Bartley Block
Rhodes Jubilee
It costs US$325 per week to buy mince and chicken for these homes
It costs US$450 per week for vegetables for these homes
It costs R5000 per week to purchase flour, oil, etc in South Africa for these homes
This fund supports 360 people in the above homes.
The Bulawayo community has been outstanding in supporting all the functions that help our old age people. Please can I ask you again, to put your hands in your pockets and help in raising funds. Cash or goods to be auctioned would be really appreciated.

Message from Bruce McDonald follows . . . . .

The 6th Bulawayo Music Festival will be held from 21st to 25th May 2008. There will be 20 classical performances in the Robert Sibson Hall and in the grounds there will be a large variety of traditional music. There are eight performers coming from overseas and it promises to be a real feast of music.

The past festivals have been very successful and this year we hope that we can put on something even better than before. This year it is a great challenge because of the financial situation of the country. Prices of everything are now going up daily, so much so, that it is impossible to work out what the inflation rate is. Last week a packet of milk (500ml) was 4 million dollars and today it is 9.5 million dollars.

The Performing Arts of Bulawayo is run by a group of volunteers with Michael Bullivant as the chairman. Michael used to be at Milton High School for many years and he is now the director of the Academy of Music. As all the performers at the festival have to be paid and also the air fares have to be covered by us, we rely on subscriptions in hard currency.
If any readers lived in Bulawayo, attended The Academy of Music or would just like to keep classical music going in our city, we would really be very grateful of some financial assistance. A donation into a bank account in the U.K. would help in making this festival a success. Any kind person who does this would get a receipt from our treasurer and their name would appear in our programme. Also, if any interested reader would like any images of the Academy or anything connected with the music scene here, I would be only too pleased to send them.
If anyone would like further details about the Festival, the Academy or our account number, please could they contact me.
Best wishes to all,
Bruce McDonald 401 Sunningdale 9th Avenue Bulawayo E-Mail: brucem@mweb. co.zw

Can anyone advise and help a pensioner get a full night's sleep ....

I am being kept awake by noises emanating from the water pipes in my roof - noise levels fluctuate considerably and only noticeable at night. I have been told that it could be 'water hammer' caused by fluctuating water pressure. I have tried closing off the water to the house completely and emptying the tanks/pipes but this did not help at all. Is there anyone out there who can offer any advice?
Thank you

Wondering if you could help me. Mum and Dad bought quite a few paintings when in Bulawayo which have been passed on to us all. We cannot find anything about the artist who is Joan Evans. She was quite popular in Bulawayo in the 1950s, painting African scenes. Do you know anything about her, or know anyone we could contact to ask? Web searches have drawn a blank.
Would be grateful for any information.
From: vcrouch48@hotmail. com

I hope all is well with you - long time no hear / see etc.... - I keep reading about the goings on and it is unreal ... I can only hope that it will not be long and all will be back on track .... I am now living in Exeter (Devon) not that I want to be here but the situation there did not allow me to continue enjoying the good life.

Anyway I met a lady the other day who stopped me because of my accent .... You don't realise how strong it is when you live in a place where everyone talks like Pirates ... She asked me if there was a way to find someone for her ... and of course I thought of you .....

Her Name is Helen Townsend and she is seeking a friend that went to, the then, Rhodesia in 1958. His name is Joe Humphreys and he had a friend called Joe Cousins.

I know it is asking a lot but if someone does know anything about this gentleman please could they contact her on (UK) 020 8691 6158 ....
Thank you so much for helping I do know that she could be over the moon if she managed to make contact after all these years .... I would like to think that they were sweethearts ... oh romantic me....
Take care and I hope one day to be back home again ....
