Le Plat Pays

Avec la mer du Nord pour dernier terrain vague
Et des vagues de dunes pour arrêter les vagues
Et de vagues rochers que les marées dépassent
Et qui ont à jamais le cœur à marée basse
Avec infiniment de brumes à venir
Avec le vent de l'est écoutez-le tenir
Le plat pays qui est le mien
Avec des cathédrales pour uniques montagnes
Et de noirs clochers comme mâts de cocagne
Où des diables en pierre décrochent les nuages
Avec le fil des jours pour unique voyage
Et des chemins de pluie pour unique bonsoir
Avec le vent d'ouest écoutez-le vouloir
Le plat pays qui est le mien

Jacques Brel

There are currently 1.2 million orphans in Zambia - over half of them have lost their parents because of AIDS. We are making plans to mark this day and hope that as many of our supporters as possible will join us either by attending one of our events or by putting on their own event.

WATCH THIS SPACE for Cecily's Fund events in the UK, Switzerland, the USA and Zambia to mark this important day.

World AIDS Orphans Day is an international day - for more information see www.worldaidsorphans.org

Once again Diva opera will delight us with a virtuoso performance, this time of Verdi's Falstaff, in the intimate setting of a marquee in the grounds of one of Britain's most gracious country houses.

Education feeds the minds of orphans and vulnerable children, and this in turn helps them put food on the table for their families in the future. So next year our fundraising theme is food and drink.

We anticipate a plethora of cake sales, teddy bears’ picnics, dinner parties and more!

Following the huge success of our 10,000 mile challenge last year which helped us raise over £40,000 we are now challenging our supporters to beat that record by raising money through music to give hope to the orphans and vulnerable children of Zambia. Concerts, busking, quizzes, karaoke, charity balls, dances, parties, CD sales... the possibilities are endless! Put your money making musical event on You Tube and you could win a prize for the best idea. For more information see our Make Music Give Hope web page. If you'd like any advice or help in organising something like this, contact us at Cecily's Fund.

You’ve met our ambitious challenge to celebrate our 10th Anniversary: by walking/running/swimming/climbing/cycling 10,000 miles - the equivalent of the distance from Oxford to Lusaka! But why stop there? We could keep going and cover the 10,000 miles back to Oxford again. For more information about how you can help, and an outline of walks that have been organised so far, please see our 10,000 Mile Challenge page. If it's too cold outside, why not cover a few miles on the treadmill, cycling machine or rowing machine at your gym. Talk to the gym manager about organising a 10,000 mile challenge day and get other gym users involved too. If you'd like any advice or help in organising something like this, contact us at Cecily's Fund.
