ORPHANAGE

Just thought I would open a new thread for those people who wish to post stuff about the orphanage but have been put off as I for one do enjoy reading it and do not wish to keep scrolling down the multitude of posts on the other threads.
To those who do not wish to read it please do not post negative comments as the topic was clearly labelled and you did not need to open it.

re: ORPHANAGE

Thank you dbut for raising this topic for us yet again. Yes, we have reached our heating fund target but it goes without saying that these children need ongoing support to make their lives more comfortable.

Hi Julie - Please email me on how things are going with you. I am waiting to hear from Bridget as to the "off" date for the biking guys.

Andie xx Very Happy

PS. I now have a roof Very Happy

Hi all

I received a text from Bridget at 6.48 (UK time) to say that they had started their fantastic journey and were heading towards the tunnel.

I will keep you all up to date as she has promised to text me throughout their journey.

re: ORPHANAGE

I have been in contact with Bridget and Pete this morning and at 10.30 they were near the Calafat/Vidin crossing. I emailed directions to Stoikite to them and it looks as tho they will hopefully arrive in Stoikite around 6-7pm this evening, just in time for a nice shower and a cool beer or 2 or 3 Booze Booze.

They are already quite saddle sore but in good spirits and apart from the 2 guys on the bikes they are travelling in a party of 7. two being children. I have wished them a safe last ...

They are already quite saddle sore but in good spirits and apart from the 2 guys on the bikes they are travelling in a party of 7. two being children. I have wished them a safe last part of their journey from everyone and now I can't wait to meet them.

My heartfelt thanks go out to this great band of people who have undertaken this journey from Sheffield, Uk to Stoikite BG simply to bring donations for the children. Very Happy

I will up date you later this evening hopefully after their arrival and thanks to anyone who has sponsored them.

Andie
