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

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.

[size=150:1h1ws41i]WOW!!! The total for the transport has gone up we now have a whopping £550 donated via Facebook. This is just amazing

Not only is the transport donation coming on great we have been donated from our Peterborough Community 3 Wii consuls and 2 Wii Fit boards. Awaiting collections Also have received 5 games so far. People never fail to amaze me. I will post on here when we have all the items in. I can't wait to see the children's faces when they see these - at this rate we will be able to send to two orphanages

Today an 11 year old girl Ashlea Foster for Orton Peterborough and her Grandmother Carol visited us as Ashlea had decided she wants the children in the orphanage to have the Wii and games and some of her clothes. Ashlea spent yesterday afternoon sorting everything out. This was her own decision and asked her grandmother if it would be OK. Her grandmother was delighted and very proud of her. We are over the moon with the donation and the fact it was a child's decision makes it ever more special. Ashlea you are amazing and a true little angel and thanks to you, our children will be so happy. We are all very proud of you. Thank you a million times over. Berni &

Bravo What a sweet child.

Just lovely. Well done Ashlea

Well done it just shows that all the young are not as bad as the press would have us read.

What an amazing 11 year old girl this is. Here is Ashlea Foster and she has certainly got the bug as she is helping our cause, she and grandmother Carol have been going thought the loft over the weekend in order to make sure they sort out and donate the toys, clothes and linen etc to the children of the Bulgarian Orphanages and the teenage disability. Ashlea is so very enthusiastic and so excited about out cause. She asked question after question and got even more engrossed. I guess we have a long term volunteer in the making here. Thank you Ashlea you are our own little angel welcome aboard. xxx

Bless her. What a lovely gesture

[size=150:18ltbolo]Oh my word I have such good news to tell you guys but I CAN'T say anything yet :: so watch this space

[size=150:2xfejc25]
Here we go our news!!!

I have some more fantastic news!!! I ask The Deputy Governor of Silistra Vyara Emilova for help with storage of our goods when they arrive in Silistra and she has just confirmed that there is an Administration building with storage space we can use for as long as we need. We are well pleased with this and that the government are behind us now supporting us where they can. The Governor of Silistra has asked to meet us when we get to BG best put my best frock on than eh!!!!

Well done, just make sure the building is very secure.

I need your help please!!!!

My friend Rachel has contacted me to say 'still got cupboards full of soft toys and dolls at house in Austria and would like to know if a there is anyway someone could pick up? We could meet somewhere in Austria or possibly Hungary. Will be several boxes. There are around 3 wardrobes full of them. Seems a shame to throw away and have to go as a "
fire hazard"
and have to pay to get rid of everything here so..........how can we get all this to you in Bulgaria or to the orphanages. No major hurry so long as I know its going at some point in the next month or so.

So guys if any of you are traveling over by car/van and can help get them to Silistra or even Dobrich we can moved from there. If you could help in any way please can you let me know. Thank you so much. Berni &
