Godrey and Phillipa Fund Raising poster in Circulation

Dear Friends, Relatives, Africa Diaspora and members of the Network for Africans Unity in Sweden, on a very personal level, I hereby wish to invite you to come and share with us a wedding fund raising occasion on the 28th November. The Network for Africans and a number of friends are organizing for  Mr. Godfrey and Mrs. Phillipa Akanga who have decided to perform the ceremony of wedlock.

Even though the couple is from Ugandan and marriage is between two individuals, in our tradition and culture, the occasion is community’s business .We, Africans living abroad and far away from our usual villages, do constitute the community we need.

Network for Africans unity believes that we should unite in both good times and bad times. I saw this spirit rising during the fundraising we conducted for returning the remains of Ndugu Hussein Ssembatya to Uganda for burial. Africans came from different corners and we raised the funds we needed at once.

To maintain the same spirit, the Network has dedicated the 28th of November to a get together Party which we are arranging in Sollentuna to entertain you and to fund raise for the couple.

The couple will take an opportunity to introduce themselves to those that may not know them, introduce the wedding idea to friends, relatives and the community as well as kick start their fund raising campaign.

As Africans, we feel it is our moral duty to be there for them and to invite my friends like you to come around and be with us as we support Akanga and Philipa to fulfill their wedding wish.

The event will be a very entertaining Party in the Sollentuna library building- the new “Yes We Can” hall and no entrance fee will be required. To recover the cost of hiring the hall, music and security, food and drinks shall be sold at very reasonable prices by the fund raising committee for the couple.

The dividends from the sale of food and drinks will be our contribution to the wedding. You can as well make a financial pledge to the couple at will or buy goods that may be auctioned during the occasion.

Music shall be provided by DJ Jimmy and Dj Dr Mukasa the best DJs in our community. The party shall begin at 09.00pm – 05am
