A musical evening was enjoyed by many COPA supporters in Stoke on Trent on October 18th 2008. Hayley Westenra sang songs such as Ave Maria and Scarborough Fair, as well as songs from her latest Greatest Hits album. She received a COPA calendar from Jeanne Bergin (COPA Chairperson).

COPA Health Adviser Amy Edelstein has recently sent a number of photographs of the construction phase of a new toilet block in Bombita. Amy writes in her email "After Storm Noel, most latrines were covered by the floods and the mud leaving the village to do their necessities in the cane fields in the village itself. The money for the latrine project was donated by a NGO that focuses on health. Now the village will have latrines shared between 3 households which excites them not only because they will have some privacy and cleanliness but because they will be able to have visitors from outside of the village to receive. The latrines are build up high to keep from water and mud blocking them and also this kind of latrine lasts longer and can be emptied and used again.” click here.
