The Annual Sponsored Walk

The time has come around again for our Annual Sponsored Walk. This is to be held on Saturday September 25th.

As always we meet just before 11am in Trafalgar Square near the coffee shop. It is a great meeting place and time permitting it's a good time to meet a little early, enjoy a coffee together and take the photos before the walk commences.

We will walk down The Mall towards Buckingham Palace and at the bottom turn left into St James Park where we do two laps round the park then stop for a lunch break, most people bringing a packed lunch. We then, after a reasonable break, finish the last two laps and for those people who think four laps round a park is not much, well, try it. It is a good feeling to be starting the last lap.

At the end of the walk people are free to just go off and do their own thing but some of us meet up and , weather permitting, sit in the sun under the trees and just enjoy the rest of the day with friends.

It is always an enjoyable event and the outcome is more very necessary funding for the Aids orphans in Kwazulu, Natal.

Anyone is welcome to join us and for more information and the sponsor forms, go to Contact Us in the right hand column.

A wonderful donation

Today, !st September, I received an email from Yusuf al-Minji, a gentleman I have never met but who heard of my charity through a friend of mine.

He is posting a cheque to me today for £200, specifically to help with the posting of goods to S Africa.

About one year ago he also send a donation specifically to help with postage of goods to Africa.

I am so grateful to Yusuf as at the moment I am holding in my home, due to lack of funding, beautiful summer dresses donated by Rosemary Faupel, knitted goods from the ladies of St Anne's church and other articles of clothing.

Because of Yusuf's generosity I am now able to ship them out to the children who I know will be delighted with them.

Thank you so much Yusuf for your caring attitude, your kindness and your generosity.

Football shirts returned to Swansea F.C.

A few days ago Swansea Football Club very generously sent by courier to my house 300 beautiful football shirts for the boys in Africa. Unfortunately the cost of delivery to South Africa came to over £1,000 with possibly more money to pay at the South African border.

My charity is short of funding right now and any money I do receive goes for food for the children as we are in crisis at the moment and food and education are our priorities.

Yesterday, 31st August a courier collected the shirts to deliver them back to Swansea Football Club.

I feel deeply saddened by this as I know what they would have meant to the boys. I am also sad at the price a charity has to pay to send goods out to Orphans in Africa. This stops me sending out many things which would be of great help to the children.
