Jo, I assume this was NOT a serious question and that you did not really expect me to reply on here as an open forum is hardly the appropriate place.
Suffice to say that Carole & I came on board to raise money for the heating fund and we have achieved what we set out to do. As soon as the funds distribution has been concluded we will no longer be involved in further fundraising for Stoikite orphanage.
It is a serious question. Last year lots of people made a lot of effort for the fund. It now all seems to have gone wrong and I think its fair enough to ask why?
Thank you for your excellent advice Jo. It was the very fact that the 'professionals' as you wish to call them were doing absolutely NOTHING to care for these kids that we got involved in the first place. Otherwise there would have been some very sick kids there that nobody wanted to hear about.
No promises have been broken whatsoever. The heating WILL be repaired and the children WILL have warm clothes for this winter. It is the long term plan to replace the heating that is now aborted ...

No promises have been broken whatsoever. The heating WILL be repaired and the children WILL have warm clothes for this winter. It is the long term plan to replace the heating that is now aborted due to the pending closure of the institute. Or would you have us waste the money by installing it in a condemmed building?
Thanks Pete for the above - it is greatly appreciated.
Jo, the funds are secure in the escrow fund held by a lawyer in Sofia. We are hoping to find a fair and equitable solution to the distribution of these funds very soon.
PP, How can you quote your above statement, when there were three options to Vote on, now a fourth has been added, "To install Toilets and new plumbing" this to a building, you state to be closed in the near future. Not so long ago A certain Hotel owner made the rooms larger and put new doors in. I just wonder what is going on. Like I said from the outset, get a Charity involved. I have a disc for anybody to look at, on the work a Charity has done to the Orphanage I support, many people ...

I have a disc for anybody to look at, on the work a Charity has done to the Orphanage I support, many people have seen it. It is used by the Charity to advertise their work. and its working to their advantage.
The professionals I am referring to are professional charity workers as anyone with a bit of sense can understand. The orphange business was doomed to failure because amateurs like yourself got involved, and as an amateur your motives were not as they should have been, nor were they open to scrutiny, which is why I ask what has happened to the money and why has there been a dispute with Amanda.
Its not so long ago that you, Amanda and Andie etc were as thick as thieves. As someone who ...

Its not so long ago that you, Amanda and Andie etc were as thick as thieves. As someone who sent money to your home address I deserve to know what has happened.
Jo,if you look at the mybulgaria site,click on forums and check out the Pearl property and stoikite orphanage links you'll be able to read up on it,very long winded but worth the read..
Have to agree with you,you have a right to ask,it's not that well known on this site that things went wrong and mistakes were made,but if you check out the above all will become clear.
