THANK YOU FOR YOUR LASTING SUPPORT IN JASON'S
"GOOD DEED FUND"

*****UPDATE

Our party week has come to an end, the first birthday celebrated without you, as usual it has been a bitter sweet experience - all the DJ's gave it their all, last night at your fund raiser at the Fez it was some night - even for us oldies!!
A Big Thank You - goes out to Deano Jones, Jose Matador, Lee Louda, Pete Precise, Rob Le Croix, Big Nick, and Justina.  I am sure there are many more to thank we will do that through Justina and Big Nick
 

The Jason Chant Memorial fund has been set up to do "Good Deeds" in his name.  To enable his son to visit the projects and see the generosity his friends and family have made, to ensure his name will live on.  Currently the fund has raised in excess of £5.000. £3.000 of this is alloted to building works for a new class room at Soma school.  Further projects are being considered.  We are on schedule to have the opening in February 2005. We are supporting Kairo Konko scout fellowship in the Gambia - who in turn support the community in Soma.  This echoes the thought that as a young scout eager to please and do some good, that even his demise should help so many is very fitting

                               "Once a scout always a scout"

Soma school now has a new classroom block built in concrete and steel - in each room a plaque with Jason's picture looks down on them saying simply: 

      "Live, Learn and Love" 

We have been so proud to be part of this in Jason's name building a memorial that will benefit so many over the years to come.

On leaving we presented a cheque which will allow each room to have new furniture - but this in turn allows the carpenter to feed and clothe his family. The wood suppliers and others to feel proud that they have work to allow them to prosper and feed theri families too. So little goes a long way here
We can only thank Jason friends and family for their generosity of giving of their time and money, so we can all suceed in doing Good Deeds in Jason's name.

 Loving him was easy but missing him is harder

His local memorial stands proud within the graveyard 
and his legacy for hope is now growing within the
Soma community - please do if possible visit both
 
one is peaceful
the other full of life and hope

    Many thanks - but we have been asked 

  WHAT NEXT??

I am sure you would all love to see another classroom block with his name on??

The Fund is still open
