You are making a HUGE difference to these children's lives - NEVER forget that.
Through you they have found love, care and someone who is interested in their lives. Through you they have found others who care what is happening to them and are showing it in any way they can. I work with Special Need children and know how things can grind you down and bring you to breaking point. But take time to recharge and you will come back stronger and more determined to change things ...

You have reached out to so many people who are behind you and are capable of carrying on your work whilst you recharge. Concentrate on yourself, your family and Slavclo - that is more than enough for the time being.
I believe you have turned the corner in the last few months, your efforts will not have been in vain.
Amanda,
What can i say. My heart goes out to you at this time. You have done so much for the orphanage and the last thing that you need is this.
Please belive, when other's say that it is not your fault.
You can not check every item that has been given to you.
As Pete said, it could have been a prank that went too far.
Spend time with your kid's and enjoy the love that you all hold.
We all understand that the orphanage need our help, BUT not at the cost of your health.

Amanda - There is no more that we can add to this thread. So go and make a cup a PG, have a CCeGG, a nice bath and GO TO BED! We all love you, for your strength and passion, but in the same way that a candle needs a shade, so it doesn't blow out, you need a break.
You are our inspiration and their savior, we all feel for Slavcho and everly last occupant of the Stoikite Orphanage! They need you (as do we) but you need a break, so make sure you find time to look after youself and your family ...

Love to you and yours, now go to bed! Goodnight, rest well.
Amanda,
I fully endorse what everyone else has said. I think we all feel your pain When you are down, think of all the people you have encouraged to go out and do something to raise money, me included. Where would we or the children be without you.
got an email from Amanda at 11, (1 a.m. their time) saying Doug had just walked in, very hungry and cold and tired after being at the orphanage for hours to repair the heating system. Fingers crossed it may work for a while longer.
Years ago Mum gave me a copy of this poem, it's been a comfort to me since. TD xx
Don’t Give up
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with it’s twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might ...

Don’t Give up
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with it’s twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up through the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver lining of the cloud of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst
You must not quit.
