First topic message reminder :

Thought it would be good to list the items you lovely forum members donated to the Silistra Orphanage so far.

Dougie and myself wish to thank you for your generous donation that you posted to us - we are just over the moon with the items so far from Ashley Admin and Guy Mugshot.



You are truly little superstars

these are beautiful and easy to make so if any one has cotton material or pillow cases any good bedding and ribbons send them in and i can make these next year for the children

More fab hand made donations for our lovely lady Jean in Newark Notts

I just cannot believe we are so very lucky to have such wonderful helpers, an supporter like this lovely lady Jean Marriott from Newark. Jean has been with us now for two years and she has been knitting/crochet hats, jumpers, blankets, dolls, Just look at this wonderful collection she has done this year. It is just amazing. Not only has she send this lot she also send 3 huge bags of goods for the shoeboxes - Jean herself, will fill around 25 boxes with the goods she sent I am totally amazed at this lovely lady's generosity, it appears she lives to knit/crochet and shop for the children. She just loves being part of our cause. Thank you so much Jean you are true angel xx Also thanks Simon and Claire Hayes from Grantham who went to Newark to collect this mountain of goods You did great thanks you a million times over. xxxx

' ON THE GO' are sponsors of the Silsitra Orphanage on here as members offroadred They transport good from BG to UK and back and do their best to allow us a cubic meter of space for collections in Belgium. They are very good and reliable

Not a bad idea at all Chrissy will discuss that with them at the Garden Party once we see how the land lies at the Disability centre later this month. We have friends in Devon who may be able to help but again it all depends on if they are going to BG - sure we will work something out. Eagar to get the project up and running now too Thanks a million to you Nikki and our new friends in Devon really looking forward to this project now.

Here are some of the wonderful blankets, scarves, mitts Mandy crochet again for us this year but this time for The Silistra Maternity unit and scarves for the Baby orphanage. Thank you once again Mandy you are a little star!!! Also Karen at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ... 1552556158 has made this wonderful comfort tactile items for the children in the Disability Centre This is the second time Karen has made such wonderful items thank you so much they are just amazing and will be well used and appreciated. xxx

Golly gosh I am lost for words. On the orphanage facebook below, Kate one of our volunteers put a post on telling members we need to find the transport funds for the lorry in 2014 and as we only have till March this will be very difficult for us. Various members have come forward once again and offered support and donating funds Thank to our mod Barbara on her for your donation that is just great!! People have donated £320 in the last two days How amazing is that We are so very lucky indeed.

Just goes to show that there are still some very nice, caring people in the world. Restores my faith in human nature.

Well done everyone.
