Free Range chef is being auctioned !!

A Free Range Chef menu and evening is being auctioned of for a Charity night put on for a NZ charity called So They Can.
Winners of the auction will get a 4 course menu for 12 guests cooked in there home with wines and waitress to serve.
Current ambassadors are Conrad Smith, Neil Finn and wife Sharon,
Kimbra and Miranda Harcourt. Will attend a function in Auckland, with 200
guests attending their annual fundraising event to help educate and
support the poorest children in Nakuru, Kenya and Tanzania.
So they can was established in 2009 and has to date:
• built a primary school educating 440 students (by 2017 we will have completed a full primary school with 1080 students and will be opening a secondary school);
• constructed an orphanage for 3-5 year old orphans who were living alone in the local dump-site;
• built a medical clinic for the 100,000 strong community;
• established an adult education and micro finance business school to generate employment; and
• developed a sustainable farming project to alleviate food shortages.
So They Can was established after Cassandra Treadwell visited an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) refugee camp in April 2009. There are 6,700 people living on 16 acres in tents. They asked for a school for their children. We believe education is the key to breaking the poverty cy-cle so we agreed to build them one.
There are three reasons why our projects seem to work:
1. 100% of donations go directly to the projects;
2. We have a unique partnership with the Kenyan and Tanzanian Governments that provides us with financial support and unfettered progress;
3. Our projects are tangible with working bees to the projects at least twice a year and regular correspondence.

Thank
you for your kind donation to our charity event on Friday 12th April
and I am pleased to let you know that all items sold above their reserve
amount, which is fantastic news.
It was an amazing night - Conrad Smith's speech about
his time with us in Africa was great and Neil Finn had everyone on the
dance floor loving the music. From the loud and silent auctions plus
ticket sales we managed to raise over $125,000 for our children in
Africa. To put this into perspective this will construct an orphanage
dormitory and 4 classrooms that will educate 160 children and 320 women
every year. Attached is a photo from our children to thank you
personally.
If you would like to receive our quarterly newsletters or to get in
touch with us to talk about what we are doing then please email me
directly. nikkioneill2013@gmail.com
Thank you again for your amazing support and I wish you all the best for the remainder of 2013.
Kind Regards
Nikki O'Neill

Hi Stephen
The team haven’t stopped talking about the food and the passion you displayed preparing it. Better than top restaurant quality was the general consensus.
I would be interested to find out your BBQ offering?
If you have details, would you please send these across?
Thanks for an excellent meal and service
Kind regards
