Gala Dinner Charity Auction
At this year’s Gala Dinner auction, delegates will be raising funds for one of Just A Drop's most ambitious projects to date. Earlier this year Colonel Mike Reynolds, one of Just A Drop's Trustees, led a reconnaissance team to a remote region of Niger; one of the poorest countries in the world. The mission was to investigate a plea for help from the nomadic Tuareg tribe. The tribe, some five hundred people strong, need two water wells. The Tuaregs do not come under any government control and move during the year between Chad, Mali and Niger following the rains.
Colonel Reynolds said "This is difficult terrain to work in but my team and I are enthusiastic in providing the Tuaregs with a permanent sustainable clean water facility to enable them to maintain their cultural heritage. At the moment the women walk up to five hours a day to collect small amounts of water. The two wells would enable the tribe to create a base and would provide not just clean drinking water, but enough water for their animals and for growing crops for themselves and for sale in the local markets. Raising funds in this way would enable the tribe to pay for a teacher for their children."
Steven Freudmann, ITT Chairman said: "This is an inspired and totally unique project. While it is doubtful that few of us will ever visit this region, the fact that we are helping so many people to have their own clean, safe water for the first time is something every member should be proud of."
ITN's Alastair Stewart, a Just A Drop Ambassador, who will be conducting the auction said: "I'm going to do my best to ensure this project gets all the support it needs. We have some fabulous prizes to auction and even though this is a difficult year for many of us, I hope that ITT delegates will be as generous as ever."
Delegates should make their own flight arrangements. The nearest airport is Alicante (30 minute drive).
Valencia Airport is about an hour's drive away.
Coach transfers will be provided between Alicante Airport and the Conference hotel for arrivals on 6-7 June and depatures on 10-11 June.
Private Transfers will be provided by Holiday Taxis. Click here for further details.
