National Sandwich Day - Friday, 14th November |
TAKE PART in Ireland’s very first ever National Sandwich Day- have fun, and play your part in supporting some of Africa’s poorest people.
On the day, people across Ireland will be encouraged to make and sell sandwiches to their work, school, college or sports colleagues, and donate the proceeds to Self Help Africa.
National Sandwich Day is the centre-piece event of a ten weeks fund-raising campaign being undertaken by Self Help Africa in Autumn, 2008, with the objective to raise one million euro for the organisation's work.
Announcing details of the campaign, Self Help Africa chief executive Ray Jordan said that millions of African people were facing severe food shortages and increasing prices.
By supporting Self Help Africa Sandwich Day, Irish people could play an important part in ensuring that families in Africa have enough to eat and have the tools to become self sufficient.
Self Help Africa has appointed county co-ordinators in each of the 26 counties, to support and co-ordinate fund-raising efforts by supporters and volunteers in each county, in the lead up to National Sandwich Day, and during the Autumn campaign.
