Charity Auction – The Results

Do you remember the violin auction run by Oxfam earlier this month?

The violin sold for £1600!

The amount of money raised from the sale of Sharon’s violin is enough to set up a borehole in a community and provide safe water for up to 2,000 people. A building of a borehole can completely transform the lives of a whole community.

Above is a photo of an Oxfam supported well that was built in Malawi. It is the only reliable water source in a village in southern Malawi that has a population of 3,000. Approximately 912 families are benefiting from this single well.

To everyone who placed a bid, shared the link and gave your support a big THANK YOU!

    Amazing the difference £1600 can make to a whole community in Africa, whilst here that sum could be spent by one person buying a winter coat in Oxford Street, London !

    Great that Sharon considered donating the violin for auction by Oxfam.

    I have to say, it’s really rare to see black people around  here.

    Despite all complexity (historical – social and of a late industrial development)…

    I wonder if the African Countries are poor simply because they are considered “ugly”.
     
    My brother Jim could explain political affairs better – I mean, being himself an excluded for not being as beautiful as such his sisters.

    Anyway, I think It’s unbelievable how Europe is so close to Africa, and they are two completely different worlds, you know? Come on Jim, talk to them.

    “Do you remember…” No!

    Wow! Just imagine what you would go for. A weekend date with SC.

    A winter coat for 1600 pounds, are you people out of your mind.

    My x made me a coat back in 1984, which today look’s just as good as it did then, for16 pounds. I have used it in weather down to 2deg. C, and I bet I get more use out of it then Sharon does with her wedding dress.

    Did I just stumble upon something Sharon? Bob

    As I was logging off, I scanned up the page and saw you banner. The expression on your face says ” Ah, I don’t think so”.

    OK then rent it out to highest bidder.

    Sharon did Andrea tell you not to post her good news here so I wouldn’t know, or was it you didn’t want me to write a song for her? Shame shame shame.

    I found out on thanksgiving day, very appropriate, so I wrote you this song.

    Congrats! Andrea!

    Today I felt you for the first time…,  deep inside of me…
    That’s when I re-a-lize what your doing to me…

    Bubbles n Butterflies , a little surprise
    to let me know, everything is all right…
    I’ll…,  keep you safe and warm inside…
    I can’t believe it…,  I’m having a, b-a-by…

    Now and then when I’m feeling poor,
    either too tired, too sick, too sore…,
    or feeling guilty for eating smores,
    I think of what mother Corr said.
    Go ahead and puke,  on the floor
    that’s what you have,  hubby for
    Bubbles n Butterflies, now and then, will help me endure

    When we’re all alone   and your kicking strong
    reminds me of, Caroline thumping a song
    I..am so… excited…,
    you… chose… me…,
    to be your mom..my

    instrumental

    Were almost there,  there is nothing to fear!
    Keep it up strong , and I’ll sing you a song
    I’m… hooked on a melody.
    I’m high on believing, that your in love with me.

    Brett, what can you say, he finally set his sights lower. I told Jim a
    while back to have Caroline tell Andrea she needs to get on her
    tippitoes. Bob

    I read in the paper that this was bought by someone in Australia. Maybe Sharon could play it at one of her shows there?
