A sumptuous high tea held at Whanganui s Bushy Park Homestead will ultimately benefit a community in Rwanda.
Organised by Kim Ostern, Lillian Chamberlain, Vivienne McClintock, Patricia (Pat) Goldfinch and Carmel Hurdle, the event was a fundraiser for a community in the Gicumbi District and included a trip on a vintage double decker bus and an auction of more than 80 donated items.
