Evans' funeral meeting!

KiN Reports
A meeting hosted by the official Evans' funeral committee was treated to a surprise when information of another paralell meeting reached the attendees. It came to the knowledge of the attendees that the father of Evans had organised another fundraising meeting on Saturday, 26th. February where several Kenyans, Tanzanians, Ethiopians and friends had been invited, attended and contributed.

The father had prepared the meeting that was hosted at Lovisenberg Diakonale Hospital starting at 16:00 CET. Several people at that meeting wondered why Evans' mother was not at the meeting where the funds were to be raised for their deceased son. The common message that was dished out was that the mother was late due to the weather conditions then later the facts started pouring in with the father stating that the deceased's mother and her friends had actually planned another meeting for Sunday the 27th.

KiN has been updated on the facts and can report that the meeting held at Willy's Bar this evening attracted several people and a mix of Kenyans and friends from all walks. The attendees who had been to the earlier meeting organised by the father of Evans were requested by the committee to ask him of the whereabouts of the money they had contributed. It was further stated that there was only one official committee comprising of among others Njeri, Naomi and two others whose identities had not been availed to KiN at the time of going to press.

Funeral arrangements:
Evans' funeral committee presented the plans already made by the hospital, priest and the mortuary where the remains of Evans are. There will be a funeral service for Evans on Monday, 28th. February starting at exactly 11:00 CET at Oslo Ullevål Hospital's Children's Center (Barnesenteret).

The burial is scheduled for Tuesday 1st. March with a departure from Ullevål Hospital at 9:00 CET. According to the presented plan, the remains of Evans will be laid to rest in a Christian ceremony at Grefsen  (Grefsen kirkegård - Glads Vei 49) at 10:00 CET the same day. After the burial, Kenyans, Tanzanians, friends and all the mourners are requested to join the family at a reception in town. The venue is Peppes Pizza at the start of Karl Johans Street opposite Trafikkanten. The cover charge for the reception is NOK 100 to be paid on arrival at Peppes Pizza.

Evans' parents; Martha (from Kenya) and Abdul (from Tanzania) send their gratitude to all of you who are supporting them at this difficult time of sorrow.
