Photo of Alzavola Club in Switzerland. The photo consists of five girls with their adult moderator who set up Alzavola Club's market stall for Project Harambee 2002. The Club's spiritual direction is entrusted to the Roman Catholic Personal Prelature of Opus Dei.

In the early morning hours of April 5, a group of girls arrived at the picturesque municipal market of Lugano, Switzerland, with boxes full of kitchen utensils, jars of marmalade, baby shoes, small flowerpots with cactuses, and various items they had made themselves at the Alzavola Club. In few minutes they had set up their “charity post” for Project Harambee 2002, one of the creative ways of raising money for the African educational projects fund established at the canonization of St. Josemaría.

The girls put up an artistic poster near the booth, with a Harambee 2002 logo, designed by a graphic arts student. When curious shoppers approached their market stall, they explained Harambee 2002 to them and invited them to contribute to the project by making a purchase.

“The mother of one of the Alzavola girls took care of asking the police for permission to put up the booth,” said Paola Tettamanti, one of the organizers of the initiative. “Other mothers contributed marmalades, home-made cookies and cakes, and even small hand-woven baby shoes. One of the fathers made some wooden kitchen utensils. We collected 1,600 francs.”
