Yes Andie their are people that have donated but we do not need it rammed down our throats all the time and made to feel like we need to give more.

Sorry but there are plenty of other charities and people in the world and many in this country who need help. In particular children in Darfor(sp) who have lived through and continue to see things that nobody should.

I salute you and the others for bringing the orphanage to our attention and your work in raising money for the cause is ...

I salute you and the others for bringing the orphanage to our attention and your work in raising money for the cause is indeed comendable, but you do not need to keep beeting us over the head with it. I for one will not be brough beaten into giving more money.

re: Another bloody thread on orphanages / everything other than skiing !!!!!

Hi All,
lets have some middle ground here.
The orphanage was initialy brought up because its so close to Pamporovo ski resort and it was making visitors aware whats so close to the ski slopes/bars/restaurants etc.
I'm sure without this and other forums no money would have been raised.
looking at the forums theres about 4 out of 50 on orphanages.
'everything but skiing' dont exagerate loads of skiing stuff to discuss
