| Hi Guys This is a long shot I know, but if we don't ask we certainly will get nowhere!! We have a situation that we need help with please. Our wonderful volunteer in Belgium asked if she could help me with collecting good for the 100's of shoeboxes we will be doing and said she would ask her friends for help with items to fill our shoeboxes for the orphanages however, she was only expecting small items but it turns out the Belgium people were very happy to help with lots of toys she also has a few bikes and various other stuff which is just fantastic!!! Now I am wondering how we are going to get these item from Belgium to the Silistra Orphanage, it's silly picking them up and bringing them back to us here in the UK as they will only have to travel back that way again later in the year. So I was hoping that if anyone is traveling over to BG they just might be able to pick some of the items up and take to Silistra - if they travel via Ruse route to Varna you will be going through Silistra. Or perhaps you do a regular trip to and from BG and might be able to help us by donating a little space occasionally. If you or any of your friends can help please can you contact me direct on the Facebook or our website email address [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Thanks a million Berni & Dougie Silistra Orphanages Thanks you so much for your consideration.

JUST A REMINDER of above just in case anyone is going that way anytime - we appear to have a lot of goods to be moved now so any help would he greatly appreciated. Thanks a million. I have been lucky enough to have one lady come forward and offer to take about a cubic meter in March so this is brilliant news - she does not want to be named until the delivery has been made. |

The will do this again in April. :Handshake:and whenever they can.

| Golly gosh I am a little speechless right now!!!! (I know that is not me but) I have just learned that one wonderful lady Magdalena Zlatkova paid for the transport of this cargo herself - Her wonderful husband asked her what she wanted as a Christmas present and she said to transport the goods from Belgium to the Silistra Orphanage for us - My word what can I say to that - :shocked1:Magdalena 'THANK YOU' ' Your are just wonderful we don't know what we would have done without your support. God bless you, you are just amazing. Berni & Dougie xx |

| Wow, how generous! And I expect it gave her as much, if not more, pleasure than a " regular" pressie would have done. Well done Magdalena! You HAVE made a difference. Mrs Eq |
