A group of members of the SI Winchester and District Club, who live in Selborne, decided on a programme of fundraising events to alleviate the ongoing plight and sufferings of children in Syrian refugee camps. They were inspired by the moving comment of the UN General Secretary, Ban Ki-moon that Syrian refugee children continue to suffer on ‘ a scale that haunts the soul’; deeply concerned by the ongoing crisis of the Syrian children in Turkish migration camps they decided to hold a Cheese and Wine evening in Selborne Village Hall.
The aim was to raise enough money to help the children continue their education. The organisers expected to make around £500.00 but were overwhelmed by the amazing generosity of the Selborne villagers and all those who supported the event. An astonishing profit of over £2000.00 was achieved!
