At last i am back enjoying having the Internet again....i have been hard at work as usual in fact today is my only day off in the middle of six long days so i am being lazy.
More photo's of Jades garden i am really pleased with how nice the flower's have stayed. The sunflower's getting bigger every day and there are still lots of buds waiting to open. The winds and rain have been thrashing them around so we have had to fasten them in place.
We are doing well with the Gambian funds around £300.00 from just the first collection of car boot donations....you can see us setting off in the van with Trev relaxing in the back...then at the stall and finally Trev returns to the back to count the children's money.
Our next car boot is 16Th November we are concentrating mainly on children's clothes and toys, baubles unused xmas trees and xmas decoration's. We intend wrapping toy's for seperate girl and boy boxes as a 50p dip that way children in the car boot area will benefit as well as children in The Gambia.
Our final car boot will take place in February, and maybe a sponsored event.
We have already received pen's pencil's and a football whistle. We have been promised football boots for mixed age groups and as there are 13 of us going together we are all taking a football shirt each for the local team who have no whistle boots or tops.....can't wait.
Today's thought:-
"So long as we are loved by other's I should say that we are almost indispensable; no man is useless while he has a friend"
Robert Louis Stevenson, Novelist.
