Hi Guys

Just thought I would let you know we are rolling out our 'New Project for Christmas' I am hoping to get as many people involved as possible so if you know of a business or establishment please could you suggest our project. Thanks a million.

Our New Project to start in Nov 2010 in Bulgaria.

This is a splendidly simple idea that everyone can help with and we can start immediately. We are asking businesses, schools, colleges, hospitals and homes, in fact everyone all over Bulgaria, if they can have a box in their establishments and houses for all their staff members, clients, students, families and friends to donate one or two new items towards. The donors can nominate an establishment in their area that they want to collect the items for, their local orphanage, a home for the elderly, a disability centre or some other worthy cause.

Things like toiletries, gloves, hats, scarves, socks, slippers, toys, books, CD’s, DVD’s, hair accessories, make up, games etc.

Maybe you could collect non-perishable food items to fill the boxes? Think how well a nice tasty treat will go down at this time of year.

Once the boxes are full they can be delivered to the selected establishments in time for Christmas. It would be rewarding for everyone involved and just think of how happy you could make those who usually go without.

It can be difficult to get people to make a positive move and commit to a cause, something else always gets in the way and good intentions sometimes come to nothing, but with this simple and super idea everyone can gain, the people who donate can be very proud they have helped those who are less fortunate then themselves and obviously all the establishments receiving gift boxes will benefit too. Hopefully you can help them have a wonderful happy Christmas for a change.

Whoever participates in this project will be mentioned via our media supporters, Trust Radio, Anglo-Info and Quest magazine therefore, we will need to have your name and company or establishment’s information, more details will follow when we start advertising in Bulgaria soon.

Thanks you for help us to help those who needs a little extra care this Christmas.

What a lovely idea you have come up with Berni I think this might work but the problem is getting to message over to those in Bulgaria and maybe only speak Bulgarian ? maybe you could ask someone like Louise to put this up in Bulgarian and that way other can copy and paste it to their emails and perhaps get some help that way

sarah

Thanks Sarah, yes it's being translated to Bulgarian and will go into the Silistra and Sofia papers next week. Good idea about putting a copy on here too

Waiting for Ashley to find the President email address for me

Golly gosh!!!!!!!!! I can't believe after 276 emails I only have two takers on this project. Kevin at BSBB and Anita at the Delphine Restaurant
I will keep emailing see if we can get the schools, colleges etc involve this would be the best place to start.

Oddy

Berni just a thought I'm thinking you have sent some of the emails to Bulgarians? and if so did you get a translated version for them? I know you must feel a little disheartened but so long as you know you have tried you can't do anymore than that, maybe you could also try contacting some of the Medium companies in the UK to ask if you can place them in their buildings ?

Thanks Cheeks

Yes did a google translation emailed all the banks insurance companies etc most of them now speak English. I am sure we will get going soon, just need a few more companies to start Rosie and the team off.

Fingers crossed eh!!!

Oddy

As the saying goes if you keep banging someone will get fed up and answer :Clap:you go for it girl
