Pretoria Youth Outreach

On 15 & 16 April 2004 Alistair and his sister Melissa Pritchard took part in a charity concert organised by Rotary International, Inner Wheel and Rotaract. Proceeds went to the Irene Homes for the Mentally Disabled. Funds are urgently needed for the installation of a new ceiling, painting, frosting the glass doors and for hanging new blinds on the windows.

Rotary International emphasises "service before self", Inner Wheel concentrates on friendship and personal service and Rotaract is a Rotary sponsored service club for young men and women 18 - 30.

A number of churches were represented and the Worldwide Church of God received recognition in the credits. The Pretoria Church provided their sound system for the event and Alistair acted as sound technician. Both he and Melissa were also part of the cast in the concert "The Bunny Dunnit."
