A donation for the New Year 2012
Today 17th January 2012 I have just received a cheque for £200. My next door neighbour and fellow trustee Debbie Pipe and her friend Anita held a New Year's Eve dance down in St Anne's church hall.
Half of the £400 profit came to my charity one Life and half has gone to Haven House, a very worthwhile charity.
My grateful thanks got to Debbie and Anita who for the last few years have held this New Year's Eve dance and donated half of the profits to One Life.
Computer contact with South Africa
At last after seven long months the computer in South Africa, for my contact with Nancy and Khanya, is up and running with just one minor problem, the scanner is playing up but hopefully will be sorted out today, January 15th.
Khanya is very excited to have this contact again and so am I as I have been waiting for such a long time for receipts, photos , information and queries.
The people who sponsor the children have been really patient so hopefully now I can catch up with the backlog of paperwork and photos needed and bring the charity up to date.
Donation to One Life
Today, 11th January 2012, my fellow trustee, Jean Spinks, gave me £100 for One life which she raised by selling her hand made greeting cards.
We so badly need donations at the moment so I am very grateful to Jean for all her hard work and support.
