Creating the right environment in which our students can learn is vitally important. Having somewhere comfortable to sit makes it much easier to concentrate and engage in the lessons that take place. Think about it – how well would you perform at school or in your job if you had to sit on the floor? This is a fantastic gift to give. For the price of a round of drinks you can provide furniture that has a real positive impact on the education of hundreds of children in Malawi.

Unusual Auction Raises Money For BFIM Library Project
Monday 16th August 2010
The recent Building Futures in Malawi Blues and Rock Garden Party went down a storm. Not only did a larger than ever crowd revel in the unique atmosphere that was electrified by some of the best musical talent in Colchester, the charity gift auction was an unusual turn of events. As regular guests of the BFIM music event will know, each year a cake is auctioned off to raise money to improve the lives of children in Malawi, but this year there was a surprise in store for the guests. An employee of sponsors High Position, an Essex based search engine optimisation company, offered themselves up for bidding in return for a night out on the tiles. In good spirit Kerry McCarthy was won by colleague Tobias Bowman and the pair spent an evening drinking fine wine and eating good food, followed by some dancing at a local nightclub. In total the event raised a stunning £5,900 which will go towards the latest project, building a community sports school which includes a secondary school, sports fields, community centre and library amongst many other things.
