About Our Auction
This online auction is part of our 15th annual Dinner & Auction, which takes place on Saturday, November 30th, to benefit the Village of Hope and Vimbainesu Children’s home in Zimbabwe. We will also be collecting financial donations to support the Mission Zimbabwe Outreach Education Fund. Over the past six years, the Education Fund has supported 30 students with university, course fees, laptop, computers, and Internet bundles. Due to the current economic situation in Zimbabwe, the cost of education has increased significantly. Currently, the cost to support a student for a term at university is approximately $1600 Canadian. This covers the cost for course fees as well as the funds needed to cover accommodation, food and transportation while attending university. There are 2 terms of university courses per year. At the present time we have 10 students “Worthy of Investment “, being supported through the education fund.
