South African School Project Fundraiser Workshop

📅 Friday, April 17, 2026, from 4:30–6:30 PM
📌 Bend Language Institute (416 NE Greenwood Ave, Bend, OR 97701)

Join us for a special fundraiser in support of the South African School Project.

This engaging workshop will help raise funds to directly support Mgidla High School, a low‑income school in KwaZulu‑Natal, South Africa, and its ongoing school building project. Together, we’ll learn about the history of South Africa, the story of this remarkable school, and the progress being made to improve educational opportunities for its students.

Guests will also enjoy a sampling of traditional South African food and beverages, along with other refreshments, generously provided by our event organizer.

A suggested contribution of $30–$100 per person is recommended, with additional donations warmly welcomed. All funds raised go directly to supporting the teachers and students of Mgidla High School.

RSVPs are required. Please email us at bendedinitiative@gmail.com to RSVP.

We hope you’ll join us for an inspiring evening of learning, community, and global connection.
