The London diplomatic corps gathered at Hyatt Regency London to celebrate the launch of the 2010/11 IDS brochure. Fabulous food, excellent champagne and a fantastic atmosphere made this the best IDS reception so far. We can't wait for next year!

IDS and Kids for Kids hosted The Ambassadors’ Ball at Hyatt Regency London, The Churchill with all proceeds going to the charity. Thanks to the generosity of guests and sponsors children in Darfur will benefit greatly from the evening. Kids for Kids provides sustainable solutions to poverty and starvation in one the most difficult regions on earth. Some of the lots in the auction held on the night were paid for in numbers of goats or donkeys, essential livestock in Darfur.
