Join us at 7pm at the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club for some bidding and dancing!
Fundraising for the ICYE, who'll b esupporting me next year as I volunteer with the Charlotte Miller Art Project in partnership with JUCONI as an arts educator in Ecuador working with kids who are street workers or at risk of becoming street workers in Guayacil.
