I have quickly come to the conclusion that Catholic parish fundraisers seem to be the same all over the world. The Motupe parish held theirs last Sunday and there was a remarkable similarity between our Catholic primary schools White Elephant Sale back home.
The highlight for the crowd was undoubtedly the Bingo which went most of the day. You purchased as many Bingo cards as you liked when you arrived and you used the same cards all afternoon, each card was S/-2.00. As the day went on the prizes got bigger and so did the crowd. The final prize was S/-300.00, and that is big! The organisers hoped to make around S/-3,000.00 to help support all the Motupe parish programs.
