Joel and Trish share a joke at the World Festival of Magic at West's City on Tuesday November 10th. This is our major event for the year and this year's was up to the usual standard. Magician and Showman Michael Boyd and his hugely talented crew made the audiences at noon and at 6pm gasp and jump and look on open-mouthed. Jeton managed to get three cups balanced on his head after flipping them up from his foot - a feat of balance and strength and coordination. Big smiles from children and adults alike as they left the theatre - many children waving light sabre souvenirs.  Enterprise can't express its gratitude to the businesses of Newcastle and Maitland  who bought the tickets and then donated them to disdvantaged,  disabled and low-income groups and individuals. 
In the audience in the morning was Islington Public School. Friday 13th was not an unlucky day because we were at their School Assembly to bring the pictures of children in Migori , Kenya, who will benefit from the fundraising the children did in 2014. They saw a need for children overseas who did not have clean water to drink and wanted to do something about it. They set about fundraising and with the help of Newcastle Enterprise their $2000 has been expanded greatly. Schools in the area of Suni Migori in western Kenya have rainwater tanks, new toilets and hand basins. Less sickness with clean hands, clean water on tap means no reliance on polluted creeks or even no water to drink during the day - a simple thought and acting on it triggered a powerful action. It was just delightful to watch the students and see them presenting their class projects - lovely school with greatv teachers - hard-working everyday heroes all.
