Novicell have chosen to enter into a partnership with Eventure about Project Zambia.
Cooperation is to Novicell from January gives the association £ 5,000 per month, at least throughout 2013, but expected more.
Towards this, we give one story each month. We call it "Support for stories"

Again this year was held Eventure day - and it was another success!
The day was this year held in slightly smaller surroundings and with a focus on comfort and get-together for the volunteers in Eventure - unlike last year where the day went into celebration and Eventure was set mark on the Copenhagen party maps with a bang of a collection celebration .... And yet - but more on that a little further down.
Eventure day was assigned to Cafe Retro who have donated money for Project Zambia, where we met early in the afternoon to hear stories from the warm countries of the former and current volunteers and get an update from Thomas on the development down to the plot. Interesting - it can read about here in general. The day ended with a quiz about Zambia and all the wonderful people who are part of the project. Julie and Glenn had of course their own category.
Afrovaganza
Then there was beer in it, along with Afrovaganza which Eventure this year had chosen to team up with in relation to the collection of money. Afrovaganza is one big party, with the clear objective: Collect money for Africa. What we did we! Eventure accounted for wardrobe and helped clean up afterwards - for the tidy sum of 10,000 lovely crowns, which will go to Project Zambia.
Thanks to Afrovaganza for support and a good party! And a big thanks must also go to the Mille and Per, who took a long stint in the wardrobe for the project! Thank you: o)
All in all a very nice day and with more dollars in the box to the project. Thanks to everyone who came and to the rest of you - see you next year!
There is beginning to form a group - do you want to help plan Eventure Day 2013, which we dare laws are a bang again - please write to forening@eventure.dk!
