To date £10,000 has been raised in four months for a Kids2Kids Ward 20 Project at Leeds General Infirmary's children's dialysis ward.

Funds will provide medical equipment alongside DVDs, books and toys for youngsters on dialysis.

Two children on the ward of a similar age to nine-year-old Avi-Moshe are to have their stories told by Chris Edwards, of Creative Filming, on film and twitter.

The Menorah Lubavitch School pupil previously attended Broughton Jewish Primary in Manchester and came up with an idea for local businesses to sponsor the production of the Happy-Rap on his birthday last year.

"I was wrapping things up when Avi said that it was a waste of money as it was hidden in the wardrobe and no one could see it before it got ripped and went in the bin," mum Judith recalled.

Avi designed the first Happy-Rap wrapping paper and 40 local businesses agreed to sponsor logos on the side of a box holding it.

Ten or 20 packs of wrapping paper are sold in the box and all the proceeds go to charity.

A team of 40 volunteers from Leeds Met get boxes to shops, schools, businesses and university.

Each pack contains Kids2Kids stickers and rewards for winning and finding the Happy-Rap games.

The packs sell for £2 and has two sheets of Happy-Rap and a pack of stickers with instructions from Avi.

"The wrapping paper has things hidden on it such as a girl with a beard and a man with half glasses," said Judith.

"There are all different things to spot. The giver and receiver get a sticker."

Avi has now opened a competition to schools' art classes to design the next Happy-Rap, which will be on sale from April 2012.

And in a bold initiative, the band Edna's Hat, and Emmerdale cast are attending a Purple Ball on March 31 at Weetwood Hall.

Winners of a Kids2Kids competition show band will appear alongside magicians, performers and entertainers.

A celebrity auctioneer will also be on hand to help boost funds on the night.

The event is sponsored by Direct Law & Personnel and Weetwood Hall.

Tickets are £75 each, but Jewish Telegraph readers can purchase them for £65.
