'Rio Life' Fundraiser, September 2008

WFC's 'Rio Life' fundraising event, held on Thursday 4th September at funky East End bar Favela Chic, was a roaring success. The place was packed all evening! The people who came got a chance to see some of the WFC films on the big screen, bid in the silent auction, watch some amazing capoeira, and dance and chat the night away.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and donated so generously. Another huge thank you goes to everyone that performed and helped out on the night.

The money raised at the fundraiser will be going towards WFC’s next workshop in Morro dos Prazeres favela, Rio de Janeiro. The workshop is starting very soon (Monday 15th September) and will run for just under three weeks.

Watch this space for updates on the workshop and other WFC activities!
