On Sunday 7 July 2019, the band Alizeti will play a charity gig at the Black Stuff Irish pub in Luxembourg-Hamm from 19:00.
Alizeti (meaning Sunflower in Swahali) has been playing in pubs, cafés and at private parties to raise money for the Ilula Oprhan Program (IOP) in Tanzania for many years.
On Sunday, Alizeti (IOP's Luxembourg band) will present a cheque for €16,000 to IOP Luxembourg.
IOP Luxembourg is a registered NGO in Luxembourg.
IOP Luxembourg, in partnership with Christian Solidarity International (CSI), received co-financing form the Luxembourgish Government to build a Primary school in Ilula.
In January 2018, Sam O'Dea, one of the directors of Sunflower Montessori in Luxembourg, raised the Luxembourgish flag outside the Primary School in Ilula when the first students entered. The school will host 560 students on completion in January 2020. The orphanage and hostels will be home to the some of the most vulnerable children in the area.
This amazing feat has only come to fruition because of the generosity of the Luxembourgish people.
