Mona & Raj Bhogal are delighted to announce their forthcoming event, The OKA Summer Garden Party 2019
Post Event Update
12th August 2019
One Kind Act's annual garden party, the most sought after, popular event in the calendar was yet again a sold-out affair. On a pleasantly warm August afternoon, over a hundred guests gathered on the lush, mature lawns of Raj and Mona Bhogal's country manor.
The bar was busy with Prosecco and Pimms, wine and beer flowing until the late hours. Lavish starters, a banquet for main meal and home-made desserts were served while music played, conversation flowed and a gentle breeze blew.
Live singers performed soul, jazz, blues, and Latino music to the audience who either sipped their drinks while swaying to the music or hit the dance floor while singing along enthusiastically.
Trustee Annu Shah gave a well-received speech on the work of One Kind Act. Raj Bhogal spoke movingly about raising money in memory of his brother Belu who, in his lifetime, always reached out to help wherever he could.
Over £20,000 was raised and two noble causes were supported on the day:
Compassionate Hands - which takes care of over 90 disabled, abandoned babies and children in Kenya
Made with Hope - which aims to install water tanks to collect clean rainwater to schools in Tanzania
An auction and raffle raised further funds in a more traditional way compared to an impromptu generously sponsored jump in the pool by OKA chairman Shamit at midnight! We just hope he hasn’t caught a chill!
