re: warning re orphanage

Naming and shaming is not the answer two wrongs don't make a right, but i do understand everyone's frustration as i was so angry, infact i had to telephone Carole, she is a wonderful lady and calmed me down, without Carole i would have crumbled. Carole and Andie do so much in the background for this cause it it unreal. Thank you all for your understanding and for being so kind with your generosity. Andie has kindly set up paypal account on our website in the hope that it helps with donations ...

re: warning re orphanage

Amanda, I too am alarmed of the happenings, but surely this is down to lack of cordination. I would have thought a call from you to Orphanage stating you had given permission for three persons to visit, also why did the Orphanage not phone you when this amount of people turned up on the alleged (your sayso). For the safety of the Children have you informed the Local police of this persons activities. F.V.

re: warning re orphanage

If your not willing to post the name then why post on here? Are they off here? Surely that is giving out select information to keep people guessing.

Surely a post along the lines of -

Following an inappropriate visit by a group of people this week, just a reminder that the orphanage is not a visitors centre as these children need miniumum disruption to their lives. I got into throuble for this (although it was not my fault) and the last thing i want is for myself to lose contact ...

re: warning re orphanage

I can only hope the persons involved are thourghly ashamed of their actions, but I very much doubt it. They probably thought that as they had donated a couple of quid to your appeal that they had the right to see where their money was going.
On the other hand they could have been just a group of sick individuals that thought it would be a good laugh to see what an orphanage looked like.
A very sad story indeed, keep the good work up Amanda and don't let a*******s like them get you down ...

I am very much of the opinion that if they are people on this forum you should name and shame them.

re: warning re orphanage

This makes me sick. How can total As-----S do this.
Do they think that it is funny, or let's all go on a bus to the orphanage and poke fun at the kid's just to see if it is as you say it is.
Action like this will not help....
If this SICK person wants to do this GO and DO IT ELSEWHERE

PLEASE NAME THIS PERSON or give out his or her E-MAIL so that we can all send a very nice note,
I hope that I never see this poor sad sick person, as I just might be tempted to pull what small brain ...

re: warning re orphanage

Easy now guys this is not a witch hunt...

I too am totally amazed by the actions of the given people,but a which hunt is the wrong way to go about it...

I'm sure if the person is a regular poster on this site he or she will see the error of their ways and front up to the rest of the board...

They way we treat them after that happens will say alot for the people of the site,as it's a family site may i suggest we keep our frustrations to ourselves as it's like closing the door after ...

Also lets keep the pressure off Amanda for the name and shame,i'm sure she has enough to worry about without being put in a morale dilemmer...

re: warning re orphanage

Keep up the good work AMANDA Exclamation Smile And whatever you do - don't stop smiling!!!!!!!!! I for one think you did the right thing NOT naming and shaming, as you said '2 wrongs dont make a right'
On the other hand........... you know who you are and now you know how much hurt and upset you have caused Amanda, You know you owe her the biggest appology of your life and a large donation will not make up for your thoughtlessness but it will go a small way to making it up to the children Exclamation

re: warning re orphanage

I think the main point here is that people should not put Amanda in the embarrassing situation to have to say no to visitors and for no one to turn up at the orphanage unannounced. She takes a big risk anyway , not knowing who will be coming, as not all people are like Julie who was fantastic with the children and did such a lot of good, and a professional.
We just need to learn a lesson from this and as already said, naming and shaming will only put extra pressure on Amanda. I think ...
