Personal message

Hi My name is Stella

The Sleepy Gecko Guest House will be hosting a charity event - 'Watch a Thon' on 6 July 2012 from 6pm. The idea is to have 20 contestants who will watch movies until they fall asleep. Each contestant has a target to raise R1000.- by being sponsored for each hour they stay awake. These funds will be donated to Hotel Hope. The organisation cares for orphaned, abused and vulnerable children, as well as provide support, counsel and skills development to young pregnant mothers in the Alexandra township. We would like to raise funds for Hotel Hope so that they can continue growing and provide for the people in their care.

If you'd like to donate, please click on the Donate Now button on the right. All proceeds will go to HOTEL HOPE MINISTRIES.  Thanks for caring. Regards
