For the last couple of days I've been at the orphanage with Amanda, the heating is now completely broken, its freezing in that place, however the kids are fantastic, they love all the new stuff people have sent/donated. But we must now make sure these children never have to suffer another cold winter
Keep the donations going. . hubby and sons tell me skiing conditions are great, snowed yesterday and more to come
Not good news at all - and with more kids expected it can only get worse unless we crack on.
Hoping to get there in the summer with some other guys and gals to try and make some improvements - but NOW is the time we need a real boost to their moral and that can only come from a bigger injection of cash.
So sad that a local business can not step in and help. What a great PR job that would be seen as back here, but in Bulgaria it would probably go un-noticed. ...
Cheers for the update A.

Not a problem - we also plan to go in the summer (no change there !!) so just let us know the dates and if there are too many people for our house, we can always sort rooms.
I had a thought last night - does not happen too often!!! most of us get complimentary soap in our hotel rooms if we were very careful not to let the hotels aware why not give it the orphanage I am sure many of us never use it as take our own... obviously if hotels cottoned on they would probably stop putting it in the rooms but reckon we could get away with it for one season at least - what do you reckon? could we get away with it, would have to be careful who we left it with/drop off point ...

My mum had an idea last night - we could all write a few begging letters to Richard Branson and the like. After all he is reported to have donated money to the McCanns.
What do we all think, we could write a collective letter or all write our own?
