Wishing you all the best for your big day tomorrow I only wish we could be there the programe is excellent.xx

Those who visited the garden party event on Saturday 01 October 2011 at the Dimcho Debelianov Orphanage in Silistra, Bulgaria had a great day.

The children of the orphanage danced to the crowds with traditional folk dancing and singing which was enjoyed by all, there was a BBQ,and various stalls, which included Games, Raffles, etc.

Once again this as we all know was down to the untiring efforts of both Bernie and Douglas who have worked so hard to bring some happiness to the children of Silistra. The event today helped to provide much needed ,Clothing, Toys, Toiletries, and much more including educational items.

Today's event raised a further 1800 leva .

The Silistra garden party takes place every year so if you would like to know more or perhaps get involved then please have a chat with Bernie (oddball) she won't bite Keep checking back for more news about the day and pictures from Brian (willowsend)

I'm glad it all went well and I'm looking forward to seeing some photo's of the day and reading more about it. Well done again to all of you and to you Brian for taking the photo's.

the children in traditional costume performed traditional dancing and sang to everyone and the tv camera, ( braver than i ) they were very good

Lovely to hear the day went well.

Hello Bernie - I wish we could have been at your party. You both are amazing people. I have heard from our mutual friend, Evelina, who is so very impressed. You are ambassadors for the generosity of the Brits. I hope I can see some coverage of your event at some point. Congratulations to you both and I am sure the children's faces must have made it all worthwhile.

Brilliant and well done to you Berni
