Spoken to Amanda

Been on the phone to Amanda tonight for about an hour.

What a lovely lady, and what dedication she has towards these kids - she is their guardian angel - of that there is no doubt.

If you want to meet the girls behind all the Orphanage work - Amanda, Andie, and Carole - they will be in Borovets for the Ski A Thong on March 14th.

Then we can all celebrate together in the evening with The Party To End All Parties Razz

Wish we could b there but well be there in spirit. Asked our schools Head if we could do something in school to help raise funds but the christian ethic only applies if your a registered charity!!!!! So much for "if I needed a neighbour I'll be there". However this will not deter me. I am in the process of asking all my friends and associates to contribute to this course and my personal cheque will be in the post tomorrow Pete!

If I manage to get some packages - was thinking along the line of help a child at christmas - were people put together a shoe box of items (as per list on orpanage site) but how can we transport them to amanda in BG? any suggestions??

re: Spoken to Amanda

What about a direct postage of parcels, would that be safer posting direct to Amanda??

re: Spoken to Amanda

was thinking sooner rather than later. I am around l'pool, london and Bath at least once per month so any space in anyones cases for these packages will be most welcome.

Do you guys think that you could be a reg charity by xmas? If so then I will drive that concept through by then.

re: Spoken to Amanda

the cost would depend on the weight, the one I did for christmas last year was quiet heavy, We paid a pound, wounder if an airline would take them over if everyone paid towards the postage?
