Eagles Wings/Break the Cycle ‘Dinner for Kids’ exceeded expectations! 240 guests attended the dinner with very generous hearts for children who live in extreme poverty.
While organizers of the event were hopeful of a small profit, many of the guests made sure their ‘limited’ faith (of at least one organizer – the blog editor) was challenged and gave above and beyond. Around $15, 000 was raised mostly through the charity auction in which one traditional African painting brought in Ndola, Zambia went for $2300!
A huge thank you to all involved, from those who donated time, goods and to all the organizing team who made this dinner a success. It is also great to know that all of the funds raised are for grassroots programs and projects of Eagles Wings. Children will directly benefit.

Break the Cycle
On Sunday the 27th September, 25 cyclists with a large support team depart Cleveland, Queensland for their 1500km journey to Canberra! What an earth for? To help raise awareness and funds for children living in extreme poverty.
Eagles Wings will track Break the Cycle’s progress on ewafrica.blogspot.com/ but for further information and daily video blogs please visit www.breakthecycle.org.au
We would greatly appreciate prayer for this event as Eagles Wings in partnership with Be A HERO and Micah Challenge look to engage and encourage Australians within all sectors of society to consider their place in assisting children living in extreme poverty.
If you would like to see off the Break the Cycle team we will be departing from Cleveland Baptist Church – 240 Bloomfield St, Cleveland. Service starts at 9.00am. There will be a very nervous/excited group of Aussies beginning a very challenging journey.
