EXPATS FOR AFGHAN HEROES NEED YOUR HELP!All work done for Afghan Heroes is done on a voluntary basis, and therefore all the money raised goes towards helping the troops and their families. The fallen and injured are supported both in theatre and at home. Our young men and women are giving their all for us, so a donation of our time or money is very little compared to what they are donating - their lives!
How you can help:-
Volunteer your services, Donate a raffle prize or auction item, Hold a fundraiser, or just attend any of Expats 4 Afghan Heroes events. For more information please contact Jackie on 697 501 992 or check out the website
