Fire for India
Fundraising for a Mission Trip to India started with a bang at the Five Lands experience concert in the Chan Shun Auditorium on the 19th May. The concert featured fire breathing, fire twirling and drumming.
Percussion band The Rhythm Hunters opened the concert with 72 tribal drums on stage, filing the whole auditorium with the deep sounds of traditional Japanese ceremonial drumming.
According to One Mission’s Jared Martin, the event was a success. “It was the best fundraiser I have ever been to” he says.
The concert raised $2500 for an orphanage and school in Bohd Gaya, India. OneMission’s aim is to raise $10,000, which will be used to buy books, computers and cricket sets. “Children in India are even more fanatical about cricket then Australians”, says Martin.
OneMission also raised extra funds by serving Chai teas and Curry in the auditorium.
The team of 12 who ran the concert will leave for India in just over three weeks time.
