Winter update from Sandblast & Western Sahara

Dear friends,
​
Winter is definitely coming! Or at least in London... brrr! And we hear that in the Saharawi refugee camps the cold has also arrived, so our thoughts are with all the families still in the process of rebuilding their houses after the devastating floods last month.

To take the cold away, today we bring you lots of exciting news!

FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN:
We are over the moon to announce that our Fundraising Campaign for the Saharawi Flood Crisis reached the fabulous amount of £4000. This has already been sent to the Saharawi Red Crescent. Thank you!!

​RUN THE SAHARA 2016:
Have you realised? There's only 15 days left until the Run the Sahara 2016 registration deadline closes (December 15). Time flies!! Have you been thinking of joining in for an unforgettable week in the desert? Now it's your opportunity. Fill in this registration form & send it back through email.

​Our fantastic Run the Sahara 2016 Team have been training (& fundraising) hard over the last few weeks & they've collectively raised almost £2000 for the reconstruction of cultural buildings in the camps after the floods. Have a look at their individual profiles to learn more & get inspired!

'AFRICA'S LAST COLONY' CATALOGUES:
The new version of the "Africa's Last Colony" photography exhibition catalogues are due to be out before Christmas! Very different from the previous ones, they are something you'll really enjoy having at home & sharing with others. Drop us an email for more details.

BENEFIT CONCERT:
We are also thrilled to announce that we have a new date for our Benefit Concert for the Saharawi Flood Victims: next February 6 @ Bolivar Hall (London). Book your tickets now & come shake it off with our super-fun line-up of London artists. Follow us on social media for updates!

​If you cannot come but still want to contribute, you can donate through JustGiving.

​Thanks!!
The Sandblast Team
