Carole-We have asked the children to pack one extra item in their case for the orphanage. We are also hoping to bring over some fleeces, carried by the staff. We have 35 children in the group so hopefully we can bring quite a lot of clothes and other items. We are staying in the Snezhanka so maybe we could arrange to meet up.

Jeremy, I can only reiterate what all the others have said, this money will make such a big difference to the fund and should just tip us over being a third of the way there now.
Jeremy, I know Andie has emailed you. I will also be there from 2nd (well in a village nearby). You have Andie's phone number and it would be great if we could all meet up.
It is fantastic news that the children will be taking something. I think this is also good for our UK children as in comparison most of them have got so much and it is good for them to know that they are helping others less fortunate.
I have started a new thread for school parties, until today I am not sure why ...

I have started a new thread for school parties, until today I am not sure why none of us thought about asking for donations this way, so thank you for your help but also for your post.
I am not sure if you have heard about Slavcho and Yuri - I have asked people if they could send them a card. Yuri is in hospital and is so scared and alone. Would it please be possible for your party perhaps to include a letter or card for both these boys with all the children signing. I think it would mean so much to them to know others are thinking of them and they are not alone in this world.
Promise I won't ask for anything else
I have posted a cheque today, it's not a fortune but it's what I can afford. If only the children could be heated from the warmth of all of you who are working tirerlessly to help them. Bless you all. I cannot help but be moved by what you write about the children, I have been in tears many times.
When the £800 check arrives and Nina donation arrives too it will take us way over the 2k and yes indeed I will then be pushing to make it 3k. I will be posting a deadline date later for receiving donations for the Ski A Thong Appeal so it give me time to clear all the cheques and make the cash transfer.
That will of course not be an end to the fund-raising, far from it, but I will then be requesting people use the website to send donations direct.
