This is just a quick note to remind readers about the Frenz of The Enz Charity Project. This year's project has been running since May of 2007, and the goal is $10,000.
Every few years, the Frenz of The Enz fanclub has a charity project to raise some money so that we can spread a bit more light in the world. This year we've been aiming to build a classroom for one of the poorer countries in the world. It generally costs around $10,000 to do this. Education vastly improves the standard of living for many families and the community in general.
Peter Green and the fanclub (not Frenz.com - we're a seperate entity) are administrating the project, and previous projects have been a great success. We'd like to make this one a big success, and we're very close to reaching our target. As of the 28th of February 2008, we've raised $8741.90. That means we have to raise another $1258.10 - YOU can make it happen!
