Benefit Dinners and More – Livingstone Foundation | Livingstone Foundation for Africa

BENEFIT DINNER 2015
WESTIN HOTEL, VALENCIA

Our first Livingstone Foundation Benefit Dinner with the presence of Mr. Gilbert Mwale, Head of Studies at Kapita School. We had 120 attendees, an art auction with artists present at the meal. Music, joy and more, all for a special cause, the children and villagers of rural Zambia.

BENEFIT DINNER 2018
WESTIN HOTEL, MADRID

At our second benefit dinner, the hard work of the team at Livingstone Partners, Grassroots, the Westin and our friends made the dinner run smoothly. The generosity of the artists who have donated their works and that of those who have donated other objects for the event such as the Columbus Foundation, César Sánchez, Eugenio Martínez, Gabriel Massfurroll, Isabel Lozano and Santiago de Torres have helped us create an irresistible auction whose The result will provide school supplies for Kapita, salaries for her teachers, support for programs at the Chikowa vocational training center and access to clean water.

Thanks to all your work and effort we will be able to meet our goals of financing improvements for education and access to drinking water! Here are photos of the event and later, after our visit to the area in April, we will put the information and photos of the result of the funds raised!

BENEFIT DINNER 2018
CLUB LOS MONASTERIOS
PUZOL, VALENCIA

Just before the Christmas holidays we invited our friends and neighbors to an informal benefit dinner to raise money for the foundation. The response was incredible. From this blog we want to show our gratitude to all of you who attended this call and to those friends who made donations despite not being able to attend; and, of course, to Club Monasterios for their understanding when we exceed the number of guests.

BENEFIT DINNER 2019
WESTIN HOTEL, VALENCIA

We sent out the invitations for our third charity dinner and… the response was better than expected! We had calculated about 180 people and in the end 220 attended. Before continuing we want to thank you. Thank you to all of you who have invested time from your busy life to attend the dinner, and to collaborate by bidding in the auction, buying items in our store and buying a raffle. Thank you very much because this means that other less fortunate people will have access to clean water, an education and a better future. The truth is that it seems magical that a night like this can turn into something so beneficial for others.

VIRTUAL DINNER 2020
WITH SUPPORT FROM MANY

Never give up!

We set up a home-based charity dinner – with a “playlist” of African music, some special recipes and African products to make your own dinner at home and more!

It was an exciting time and we are grateful to have had Gid Carr from Makolekole explain the difference we make to people’s lives in rural Zambia.

The dinner was “attended” by friends from the UK, US, Germany and of course Spain…and a Dutchman tuning in from the Czech Republic!

PAELLA PARTY 2022
PHIPPSBURG, MAINE
A DIFFERENT EVENT

Following in the footsteps of our Fundación Livingstone in Spain, we have repeated the idea in the United States with the Livingstone Foundation for Africa, the Fundación’s sister organization.

Artists, volunteers, a team of cooks and many generous hearts made this a wonderful occasion!
We were able to raise enough funds to cover the salaries of the teachers at Kapita for the next school year, as well as to fund some of the textbooks and maintenance. We can also help the nearby Nsefu school a little for its reconstruction project.

As they say, “Money doesn’t grow on trees”, but with everyone’s hard work we can help young children get a better education and therefore a better chance in life.
