Fashion Show fundraiser is a huge hit

The  final "bride" of the night was rather unexpected
Earlier this year Maria Khotin, along with a team of her fellow students from Tonbridge Grammar, organised an incredible evening of fashion, music, dance and art in order to raise funds for Joshua and a local hospice.

Maria was a volunteer in Malawi last year with a group of girls from Tonbridge Grammar and has seen first hand the difference our work makes to some of the poorest children and families.

Teaming up with the boys at Tonbridge Grammar School, they put on a fantastic night. The whole evening felt like a professionally put together show, with a range of music from Jazz to Pop and with one of the most incredible electric violin performances I have ever witnessed.

There was a raffle with more prizes than I have ever seen crammed on to one table, the refreshments were scrumptious and the fashion, the majority of which was created by the students themselves, was stunning.

Maria and her fellow students raised £1,250 for Joshua - an incredible sum which will make a huge difference in Malawi. I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this event such a success, and for raising such a fantastic sum for Joshua.
