They have long been friends and supporters of Children of Watamu and have done so much to raise moneuy and awareness, as well as helping practically by volunteering at the Happy House. Granddaughters Chloe and Lucy have also been to help us.
The Happy House sends a huge thank you to Paula, Brenda, and all their friends who made this latest fundraiser such a tremendous success. Paula is pictured (second left) with some of her friends who attended the evening.
