THE Black Magenta will be transformed into a fantasy wonderland this Sunday as the Global Shapers Community Georgetown Hub sets up for its second high tea fundraiser called: ‘Down the Rabbit Hole: A Journey through Tea Time’.
Speaking with the Buzz, the Vice-Curator of the organisation, Sadiya Yahya, said the project is called ‘Project Head Start’ which is one of the flagship projects for the Global Shapers.

It was revealed that the Global Shapers community, an international non-profit organisation which was started by the World Economic Fund, was brought to Guyana in 2011 by Selwyn Asafa George.

According to Yahya, the upcoming event is being called ‘high tea’ in keeping with the decision to select a different/ unique theme each year.
The proceeds from the high tea event will go toward ‘Project Head Start’ or any other project that is planned for this year.

“Surprisingly, we did not expect past [CSEC] papers to be as expensive as they are, so we really are pushing the event,” she noted.
Commenting on the event itself, Yahya related: “Yes we’re giving back, but we also want people to have an experience and come and enjoy and just give back while at the same time relishing in something new and different,”
In terms of entertainment, various local talents are set to take the stage including Abel Stokes, DJ Static, Leon Hardowar and many more.

Tickets cost $8,000 each and can be purchased at Fresh and Black Magenta. Each ticket includes a contribution toward Project Head Start, a carefully chosen selection of teas and coffees, delicious high tea delicacies, live music and entertainment, interactive activities and photo opportunities.
‘Down the Rabbit Hole’ promises to be an unforgettable event with magical experiences awaiting its guests. If you are an Alice in Wonderland fan, cease the opportunity to join the Mad Hatter in his antics, or the Queen of Hearts in all her majesty. This event will take you on a journey like no other.
The Global Shapers Community aims to donate school supplies and to ensure that students have access to past papers at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) level in several remote locations throughout Guyana, including the Region Nine community of Toka, Port Kaituma in Region One and Hararuni on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway.
