Haven't seen any details of this posted here, sorry if I've missed a thread.

A great Bristol charity called Temwa are having a charity auction this Saturday 10th June. You can attend the auction on the day or bid online.

This link takes you to the auction catalogue and online bidding details: temwa.org/events/art-africa-2017/

and this is a little from their website about how the money raised will be used:

"We work in remote, rural areas of northern Malawi – where 40% of the population live on less than £1 a day, 16% are HIV-positive, and one in three people struggle to feed themselves each day.

Our mission is to develop self-sufficient communities by supporting projects in education, health, agriculture and forestry, and microfinance.

These projects:
•train villagers in the importance of good nutrition and sustainable farming;
•plant trees to combat the effects of deforestation and climate change;
•run mobile HIV testing clinics and establish HIV support groups;
•promote young children’s literacy skills and fund students through secondary school;
•provide microfinance loans to budding entrepreneurs"
