Second annual Afridiziak Gifts and Occasions Christmas Shopping boutique raises £194 for the African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust

The festive season was welcomed with the second annual Afridiziak Gifts and Occasions Christmas Shopping boutique, held on Saturday 3 December 2011 at the CLF Art Café in south-east London. This unique shopping event brought together top quality exhibitors who offered unique, culturally inspired gifts not found on the shelves of local high street shops. The day included Christmas Carols sung by Gospel Essence choir, dj's Blaze it Up Entertainment and rapper Mas Law keeping shoppers and exhibitors in high spirits. Estar Artistics and Strange Fruit kept children smiling with face-painting and a Christmas card making workshop. Noisettes lead singer Shingai Shoniwa also came to do some shopping too.

Sophia A Jackson, Afridiziak Gifts and Occasions communications director, said: "Thank you to our sponsors, partners, volunteers, friends and family and the guests who contributed to the success of the day. Afridiziak Gifts and Occasions is all about supporting African-Caribbean businesses in raising their profile, this event is one way for them to do this. Thank you to the exhibitors who came back from 2010 and our new exhibitors who joined us this year".

Charity: For the second year running we chose the African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust [ACLT] as our official charity and we raised £194 through raffle ticket sales and proceeds from our ticket sales. Much loved actor and ACLT supporter Jimmy Akingbola [Rev/Holby City] was present on the day to announce the raffle prize winners and multicultural card publisher Colorblind Cards were also present on the day selling their Angels range of Christmas cards - 15 per cent from the sale of each card goes to the ACLT.

ACLT's co-founder and director of operations, Beverley De-Gale OBE, said: "Thanks to the Afridiziak team on their efforts for delivering a superb Christmas shopping event and for raising vital funds which contribute to the lifesaving work the ACLT provide to those suffering from leukaemia and other life threatening blood related cancers. We truly appreciate their continued support".

HISTORY

Afridiziak Gifts and Occasions Christmas shopping boutique 2010: The first event was held at the Oval House Theatre, south-east London. There were 30 exhibitors and we raised £120 for the African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust. As well as our supportive shoppers, Ellen Thomas and Dona Croll from the world of acting also joined us on the day. Info: www.afridiziak.com/xmas2010

About the African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust [ACLT] – promoting bone marrow and blood donation
The ACLT was established in June 1996 by Beverly De-Gale and Orin Lewis, the parents of Daniel De-Gale. When the charity was initially set up, Daniel had already been suffering from Leukaemia for three years. Daniel's parents were informed that his only hope of survival was to receive a bone marrow transplant. Due to the fact that bone marrow contains racially specific characteristics, the compatible donor for Daniel could only be found within the black or mixed race population. At the time when the shattering news was revealed, there were just 550 black or mixed race people on the UK bone marrow registers. The Consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital who was responsible for Daniel informed the parents that there was just an approx.

1 in 250,000 chance of Daniel finding a compatible donor. Daniel finally won his battle against Leukaemia when on 16th June 1999 at the age of 12 he received a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated American donor, Doreene Carney, at Great Ormond Street Hospital. This enabled Daniel to live a full and fruitful life including successfully passing his exams at school and University. Daniel was in full remission and free of Cancer, but due to complications with his health that led to multiple organ failure he died aged 21 on the 8th October 2008 in hospital surrounded by his family.

The charity raises awareness which enables potential donors to come forward at the ACLT registration drives to be involved in the process of offering hope and a healthy future to someone whose disorder may otherwise prove fatal. The ACLT has raised the numbers of potential black/mixed Race donors from 550 to approx. 33,000 and many lives have been saved in the process.
