PANDILLA’S BREAKFAST2LIVE 

Customers of Pandilla Café, Crockhamwell Road in Woodley (0118 969 7897) are really entering into the spirit of this year’s Feed The Children (UK)’s Breakfast2Live campaign.  All during the week Monday 22nd February to Sunday 28th February the café will be donating 20% of their breakfast sales to the charity.  Each breakfast costs £4.35 and so 87 pence from each will go to help feed the vulnerable children that Feed The Children supports.

“In England we really love our breakfasts. At Pandilla we serve breakfasts all day,” says owner Damyanti Wadhia. “This campaign really brings home to us all that elsewhere in the world there are lots of people that may only have one meal a day or may not have eaten for days. If we are donating 20% of each breakfast then in Africa, for instance, we can feed five vulnerable children from each breakfast we serve in England. Imagine how many people we could feed in a week!”

Feed The Children’s regional fundraiser, Priya Gehlot, says, “It is fantastic how Pandilla have entered into the real spirit of Breakfast2Live campaign. In Africa it costs just 17p to feed a child a day or £5 a month. Breakfast2Live is to encourage people to eat a hearty breakfast and help to save someone’s life at the same time. At Pandilla they will be doing just and we are really grateful for their support.”

During the week Monday 22nd February to Sunday 28th February 2010, cafes, restaurants, schools, colleges, businesses and people at home got involved by staging breakfast events to raise money for the charity’s life saving projects in developing countries and breakfast clubs in this country.

The charity has a number of ideas that people can use:

• You can host a breakfast and invite friends (get items donated and then charge a small fee of say £5.00 per breakfast).
• Restaurants and cafes can donate a small percentage of the price of a special ‘Breakfast2Live’ on the menu to the charity, or have a collection tin on the day and ask for donations to the charity from everyone eating in the restaurant.
• If you have regular coffee mornings, get a batch of cakes or breakfast muffins donated or baked, invite your friends along and if everyone pays about £1.50 for a cup of tea or coffee and a muffin you can raise money that way.
