Dr. Charmaine Johnson, Green Bar & Kitchen and other community residents with A Spring of Hope foundation battle against water shortages in Africa.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) August 10, 2016 -- Dr. Charmaine Johnson and Premier Smile Center gathered with Chef Charlie Grippo and staff at Green Bar & Kitchen (located 3429 Galt Ocean Dr. Fort Lauderdale, Fl 33308) on July 21, 2016. for an intimate Benefit Dinner with wine pairing to raise funds for A Spring of Hope. This summer’s event raised funds to help provide clean running water to underprivileged children in rural schools in South Africa.
A Spring of Hope is a foundation that finds schools and local communities in need of running water. They then fund the drilling of wells and the building of small reservoirs, to draw local ground water directly to reservoirs at the schools they support. The water is also used to grow a vegetable garden to sustain the school. They are also now working to improve sanitation at these schools by the instillation of toilets that do not require water or chemicals to operate.
The intimate dinner started with a cocktail gathering from 6:30 till about 7:00 p.m. that evening, followed by a small introduction speech from Dr. Johnson. She began her speech with a warm welcome and a thank you to the staff. She also raised a question that jump started things to next level. The question she asked was, by a show of hands, “How many of you are aware of the water crises in South Africa?” This was the ice breaker that led to her to educate, inform and communicate why A Spring of Hope is so passionate to her.
