Cascading sounds of the sultry female voice and guitar filled the atmosphere as the gala guests milled around the casino balcony with wine filled flutes in hand and enjoyed the picturesque views of sunset, welcoming the commencement of the third Friends of Cedar Tanzania Gala in Zug, Switzerland

Over a hundred special guests of the Swiss community turned out, on the evening of the 13th of September, to show their support to Cedar Tanzania. They were entertained with an assortment of performers including a poignant reading by bestselling author Katherine Ann Lee of her story ‘Peruzi’s light’, which received a rapturous round of applause.

Mark O’Sullivan, Country Director for Cedar Tanzania took the stage and introduced the cause of the evening’s gathering – financial support for Kamanga Health Centre, especially of its growing need for solar power.
