Oh what a party

A wonderful night with so many friends made our second birthday celebration a huge success last night.
It is two years today since Sue opened her Happy House and in that time our family has grown to 58 children - 58 young lives saved from fear, hunger and poverty. 
Thanks to their Mama Sue they now have a chance in life, and opportunity to make a difference, just like she is doing every day of her life.
Our charity night at the Hotel Sheraton , Blackpool, was about more than raising money. It was also about bringing together, and thanking, everyone who supports the work we are doing.
We will have a final total later, but it looks like we will have raised well over £7,000, plus a £3,000 matched donation.
It was a long night, so today's blog contains just a few pictures. But we will post more over the next couple of days.
If you have any pictures you would like to share you can post them on our Happy House, Watamu, Facebook page or email to me elizabethgomm@childrenofwatamu.net - as small files please.
Thank you to everyone who came along or supported us in any way, and to the Hotel Sheraton for making us so welcome.
