Clubs and Societies Day – 2 of 3

These are some more of the stalls I visited at the Clubs and Societies Day – organised by Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council..
Clubs and Societies Day
The Nasio Trust is a UK based charity that works with AIDS orphans and destitute children in Western Kenya. They also have projects to empower and help young people in our own country. A group of teenagers from Abingdon have been doing their own fundraising events culminating in a trip to an orphanage in Kenya.  They are just back and as well as volunteering to do tasks at the orphanage, they also got to know some of the children they were helping, played football with local teams, and had an amazing life changing experience.

Across from them were Amnesty International who were asking people to sign cards such as this one showing our support for people overseas.

Lastly for today ( a few more tomorrow), Abingdon Drama Club‘s next production will be Wife After Death. They have just finished a run of Eugène Ionesco’s play ‘Rhinoceros’ at the Unicorn Theatre. Anybody who went may recognise that the actor manning the stall was The Logician.
