This goes beyond anything I could EVER have hoped for and just proves what a bloody great bunch you really are.
Thank you so very very much - that's all I can say!
Pete, your determination and effort to make things happen for the children has reaped the rewards it deserves.
I think, without doubt, you will remember this birthday for a long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you are doing and to all those wonderful people who have donated their time, efforts and money to the appeal.
PP - I'd get you a blue peter badge of ebay, but I am sure that the money will be better spent at the orphanage. When the Guide shop reopens I will get you a special badge from there, to sew onto your Ski-A-Thong t-shirt.
