Greetings to all of you at Solicitr
I am currently a paralegal at Ashurst and I am due to start training at Nabarro in September. As this summer will be my last chance to travel for a long time, I have decided to do some voluntary work in Tanzania. I have found the perfect project through Hostel Hoff, an organisation which focuses on independent volunteering (http://www.hostelhoff.com/ ) .
I will be working with children at the Path to Africa Children’s Centre for vulnerable and orphaned children in Moshi, Tanzania . There are presently 970,000 aids orphans in Tanzania so centres like this one are truly invaluable. Thanks to the amazing year I spent at law school, I channel a hefty chunk of my salary to my Natwest loan each month so my only hope of doing this project is by fundraising.
To that end, I have organised a Cocktail-Mixing Single’s Party at Alibi bar (on Shoe Lane of course) on Wednesday 11 February. I would be really, really grateful if you would write about me and/or the event just to give it some publicity. Not only is the event for a good cause and just in time for Valentine’s Day, but it will also be a spot of good, clean fun! If you would like me to submit a press release, write-up, further information, blood etc I would be more than happy to! Please let me know…
The kindest of kind regards
Eleanor Mhizha
……………………
No blood required from us of course! As with any event, location makes it a more practicable opportunity for those in the vicinity. Anyone that wishes to help Eleanor, learn to shake cocktails, meet some new people or all three can find ticket and venue details over…

This looks interesting, nice to see someone doing something good with all the bad news we are hearing at the moment.

I am sorry to be terribly sceptical, but you are simply asking for people to pay for you to go travelling! Perhaps you should have thought about the plight of the aids orphans before getting so carried away at law school and living to a budget that you clearly couldn’t afford. You would then be able to partake in volunteer projects through your own financing and not by those of us who are more financially savvy.
10 out of 10 for being so cheeky though…

I think that’s a bit harsh. You only need to do a quick search online to see that there are hundreds of similar events in and around london for a purely commercial purpose. The fact that this particular event is to raise money for a good cause doesn’t mean you are being asked to pay for her to go travelling, you’re being asked to pay money to learn a skill, drink and meet new people. Of course if you won’t want to, you don’t have to.
10 out of 10 for a brilliant idea. I’m sure it will be a good night.

That was a little Harsh realist…
Eleanor seems like a nice enough person.
may have to try and check it out.

There are many things to do in London at least this way you not only do something different and have fun but also raise money for a good cause.
January 28, 2009
Sounds like fun. I agree at leas its for a good cause

I fully support Eleanor;s efforts to help the children at the Path to Africa in Tanzania unlock their potential aswell as her creative and entrepreneurial approach to fund-raising. Organising a cocktail mixing singles’ night is far more imaginative than asking us all to give her a fiver for a 10km run. Lets hope Eleanor raises a substantial sum for the orphanage in Tanzania – I’ll try and head to Alibi myself.
And realist? Please take a reality check. Leave your groundless assumptions about the financial behaviour of people you do not know to yourself. Taking out a loan to help finance university and law school does not equate to “living a lifestyle you cannot afford” and neither does it demonstrate “lacking financial savy”. Or do you suggest that the only students who should aspire to a career in the law are those who can happily afford the £10,000 tuition fees (plus living expenses) without financial assistance?
