Sell-out concert raises £600 for The Forgotten Children of the Land of Lakes & Volcanoes, Nicaragua On 12th April a most enjoyable community event was held at The Chapel, Billingshurst, in aid of The Forgotten Children of the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes. The Chapel was full to capacity with local residents and visitors from further afield enjoying music by Huckabone and Mike Feinstein. Denise Campbell prepared delicious canapés and guests were able to buy both Nicaraguan and locally-made craft items, try their luck in the raffle and see photos and information from my last trip to Nicaragua (reported in April’s Village Tweet). This project supports communities on a remote island in the middle of a lake in Nicaragua – this was the fourth time The Chapel has supported the project. Last year there were two successful craft events and an opportunity to talk to the congregation at their Harvest Festival. This event was yet another in this productive partnership between The Chapel and the project, raising a further £601.55 to help the schools. Future events are a Wildlife Talk on 23rd October and a Christmas sale event on 7th December. Carolyn Gibbs
