Karma & Spekko Rice makes Dreams come true!

In order to celebrate the 21st birthday of Reach For A Dream, Karma Restaurant and Spekko Rice are proudly sponsoring a special party for 100 Reach For A Dream children on Sunday the 5th July 2009 at the new Karma Nirvana restaurant in Fourways. This will be in conjunction with the launch of the new ‘give change and make a change’ campaign that Karma is launching to raise funds to fulfill dreams of children with life threatening illnesses. Together Karma and Reach For A Dream hope to raise enough funds to fulfill 21 dreams in celebration of 21 years of helping children with life threatening illnesses to believe in the power of dreams, to know that tomorrow is worth fighting for and that smiles and fun can still be a part of their lives today.

Karma restaurants offer an extensive choice of their trademark North Indian dishes. Voted the best Indian restaurant for 7 years and with an award winning staff complement, including a chef nominated as one of the top five chefs in the Top Billing lifestyle Momentum Awards, Karma is an experience that one must not miss. Karma is proud to have Spekko Rice on board as a partner in this initiative. The Spekko Rice range is of the highest quality and each variety of rice has its own unique taste and appeal. Spekko truly  is "The Perfect Rice for All Occasions" and what better occasion , than one that empowers and makes dreams come true!

“It is truly inspiring knowing that Karma is giving their patrons the opportunity to live the message ‘your change can change a life’ and help make a difference to a child who has a life threatening illness.” Said Bronwyn Feldwick-Davis, the Johannesburg Branch Manager of Reach For A Dream. “We look forward to a fun day for all our dreamers on the 5th of July and together with Karma and Spekko Rice, we hope to bring a little joy to the lives of these children and give them hope and courage to help them and their families through their darkest days.”

The Reach For A Dream Foundation is a Non Profit Organization that encourages children to use their dreams to fight their life-threatening illnesses. We believe that children can beat life-threatening illnesses by dreaming of better things and by taking part in activities that boost their confidence.

Please come and be a part of all the fun and laughter on Sunday the 5th July at Karma Nirvana in Fourways and help to make this a special day for children faced with life threatening illnesses.  For donations, please contact Karma at 011 465 0856 or 011 646 8555.
