Hi Andie and all,Just wondered if John dixon has been congratulated on here yet for his fundraising efforts for the orphanage. He organised an auction up in Parbold and raised a very large amount
re: Another donation
Hi N, John's donation for his fundraising was acknowledged on our website but as you so rightly say it should be on the forums as well so here goes:
Fundraising Auction: A big thank you to John Dixon who hosted a fundraising Auction on the 29th March 2008 at the Stocks Tavern in Parbold, Lancs, with the people of Parbold giving generously to the heating appeal raising £1110.00. Local businesses gave donations to be auctioned off on the night and people gave prizes which were raffled, 3 ...

Local businesses gave donations to be auctioned off on the night and people gave prizes which were raffled, 3 professional entertainers gave their services for free. It was a full house with standing room only. A big screen displayed the Orphanage pictures and advertised the local businesses who had donated whilst the children in need style auction took place.
So a BIG THANK YOU John, for all his hard work and for helping as get nearer to our target goal to help the kids have a warmer, more comfortable winter 2009.

re: Another donation
Well done, John and a huge thanks to you and everyone who helped.
Having met some of the children at the orphanage last week, your fantastic efforts will be greatly appreciated by the children. They have so little and little to do but smile and get great pleasure from even the smallest things. Kids in the UK would riot but they are very polite, friendly and appreciative of anything. Last week the temperature dropped to 2 degrees with the snow blizzard, so to have reliable heating and ...

re: Another donation
Hi all, I can report that the thermometer and website were updated yesterday/today regarding the amount we now have in the fund.
The actual amount now stands at a few pounds short of €25,000 thanks to all the very big hearted people who have supported this cause. Not bad going for the short time (just over 5 months to be exact) that we have been trying to raise the funds for the heating to be replaced.
Fingers crossed, the kids will all have warm toes this winter
