KFK!


Come one come all to the Kofi for Kids concert (KFK)!

On May 4th a few of my friends and I will be performing a speech, music and drama concert. Its soul purpose will be to raise funds for Kofi's Trip to Africa where he will give the poorest people in Africa much needed resources. These resources will include something they have never even dreamed of having access to, a computer! Kofi will teach the kids in Africa about using a computer and they will have an experience nobody in their community had ever had before Kofi arrived. Unfortunately this is not an easy or cheap task, so that is why we need your help! Come to the KFK concert for fun and enjoyment! We hope to see you there!

Kofi's Mission

Kofi Boateng is well known around Cairns and Africa as a man with a mission.

He regularly ships 40-foot containers full of computer parts, clothing, books, and other much-needed items to some of the poorest people in Africa.

But all of this costs money, which is why some of The Cairns Kids families are organizing a concert as a much needed fundraiser.

The concert is on May 4th and the official flier can be found on the link above in the 'Information' section.

Please come along to support Kofi as he helps the children of Africa. If you would like to contribute to this fundraiser by way of performing or donation, please contact the founding organiser of this concert, Jillian McKenna at jillgracemckenna@gmail.com.
