Regular readers of this blog or the magazine will know that Suited and Booted supports the Music For Africa charity. Tom Toomey, the charity's founder has been working to raise money for specific programs including a water and sanitation project.

He recently sent us the messsage below:

Thanks to everyone who helped me raise another £3000 for the project!
We can now ;
1, supply a toilet and running water for Elsie in her home
2, supply 10 guitars to the church in Cape town where Frank our pupil for 7 years will now have his first job.
3, supply a budget recording studio for the children to learn to use.

THANK YOU and a HAPPY 2006!

Best wishes Tom

What ever you do today have a great one.
