Amani For Africa
Amani whose meaning in Kiswahili is peace, is a lay voluntary movement, inspired and founded by Father Renato Kizito Sesana, a combonian missionary.
Amani is a non-government organization, acknowledged by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Amani is particularly concerned with helping African populations following these two basic rules:
1. Supervising the development of a restricted number of projects, so as to continue being a completely voluntary organization and to limit costs to be supported by contributors.
2. Entrusting each project and each event carried out on African soil solely and exclusively to locals. In confirmation of this is the fact that many of Amani's interventions have been inspired by a group of young Africans gathered together in the community of Koinonia.
The main activities of Amani are: the two emergency centres for the street children of Nairobi: Kivuli Centre and Anita's Home; Mthunzi Centre a project for the street children of Lusaka in Zambia; the defence of the Nuba people in Sudan, who are victim of a real genocide.

Union Lido is associated with this organisation and Amani recently sent a letter to Union Lido. You can view the letter here.

To Help out Bella500 and the Air Ambulance, we are happy to promote this event taking place in May 2010
1200 Miles in a Fiat 500l for Charity
The Fiat Run is a drive of a lifetime in my Classic Fiat 500 dating from 1968 and we are trying to raise valuable funds towards this lifesaving service both in Britain and Italy. The journey will include a visit to the 500’s birthplace, Turin and then on to Venice.
Meet Custard – she’s my lovingly restored 1968 Fiat 500L.
We met a few years ago when I found her abandoned in a farmer’s field in Cavallino in Italy and even though she looked far from her best,
it was love at first site.
Several hundred Lira lighter and a long tow back to England later, Custard arrived at my home in Huby, North Yorkshire where she has since been transformed into the classic show car you see today. She is quite rare and unbelievably cute so everywhere we go people want to pet her.
Since her restoration, Custard has appeared at many Classic Car shows in Yorkshire and gained awards Cavallino in Italy. In 2008 she was on show at a Fiat showroom for the launch of the new generation of Fiat 500’s.
Starting from North Yorkshire the little Fiat will make its way down England to Dover where the Channel crossing will be to Calais and the start of the European journey
Out of France into Belgium the Walloon Region and to Luxembourg. Back into France to Stasbourg across the Rhine into Germany to Switzerland.
After Lucerne we head over the famous Gotthard Pass 2109 metres above sea level. Then down hill to Italy. Around Milan and to Turin her place of her birth.
From Turin its across the Autostrada via Brescia To Venezia and our finishing post in Cavallino.
The Yorkshire Air Ambulance charity's two helicopters provide a rapid-response life-saving service covering the whole of Yorkshire To keep these helicopters flying costs the Charity £7200 each day.
The quicker a patient receives medical attention after injury, the greater their chances of survival So your donation really will help to save lives.
Charity Reg No: 1084305
We are also raising money for the air ambulance in Italy wherever our Fiat is on show.
