A Charity Ball and A Flight to Africa (March 13, 2018)

Our 4th Annual Charity Ball was held on March 11, 2018, and was a great success.  A post from Izabela's website tells the story.  We appreciate her permission to use this material.

Our team flew to Africa on March 13.  We will start sharing our 2018 African adventures on this blog soon.  Thank you for all your support and prayers.

Until next time...from the Bush with love ❤️,



Sidney and the HHTH Team

Dear Friends, On behalf of Wayne, Sidney, CJ, Sheila, Mike, Cathy, Sheena, Karen, and Clark I would like to say my sincere thank you for attending our annual Charity Ball, “Dancing For Goodness’ Sake,” on Sunday, March 11 at Dance New York in Plymouth. With 180 attendees we raised $9,000. Your financial support helps the charity “Helping Hands Touching Hearts” to continue their mission of building orphanages, providing shoes, food and education for the community, and bringing hope to the poorest of South Africa.  Our sincere thanks also goes to all the performing couples for sharing their time and talents, and to the dance studios for bringing their students and positive energy. We appreciate Mark Brock, our MC, for encouraging everyone to donate and participate in the event’s activities. And, of course, our gratitude goes to Glenn Clark for playing fantastic music, and to Suzanne and Clive Phillips of Dance New York for generously allowing us to use their beautiful studio. We look forward to seeing you and your friends next year for another fun-filled fundraising event. Again, we are so grateful for your support! With warmest regards, Izabela Jaworska   Left: "Dance with a Pro"  game, where professional dancers donated their dance to raise money for orphans in South Africa.
