3rd Annual Stone Soup - A fundraiser for Niteo Africa
An event for foodies, inspired by the classic folk story’s theme of making something significant by accumulating many small contributions.
II. Not just Soup! Chefs from the Okanagan Chef’s Association & Okanagan College will compete to create the tastiest dish inspired by famous literature. The best part is, the guests are the judges!
Niteo Africa is a Kelowna based organization that collects books from local households, schools and libraries that would otherwise usually be recycled. The books are carefully packed into a shipping container destined for Africa. There the container is fitted with windows, doors and shelving. It becomes their community library!! Each container will also supply about 100 reading corners throughout the community. Without these books many children would simply have zero access. Niteo's mandate is to provide quality education for all children and it begins with literacy. We've established 11 literacy centres and hundreds of reading corners. Being the 10th anniversary, we want to say THANK YOU #KELOWNA for generously donating over 100 tonnes of books!!
We invite you to join us on February 18th for the Stone Soup Gala, all proceeds will go to promoting literacy both locally and globally.
