Summer 2021
As with last year, this has been a very challenging time for all involved. A second lock down
and uncertainty in every sector has had a massive impact on the charity sector and giving. We have been
grateful for all the amazing supporter we have around the world and here in the UK. Despite all the
challenges we are facing, it is those who are working on the ground and in both the Children's
villages and Medical Centres that are the real heroes. We have all been inspired hearing from those who
are home schooling groups of children with little resources, access to education or in medical centres
helping the most vulnerable.
Planning fundraising events has been tricky as restrictions continue to change, but there is a
glimmer of hope as we move towards Autumn that we can start planning again - fingers crossed.
January 2021
It was with Great Delight and Support that we Managed to raise and meet our Xmas Wish Appeal
Target . A HUGE thank you to everyone involved.

Kindness Card Project - Giving young people the
chance to spread kindness
-
Every child has it in them to make a difference to another person no matter what their circumstances
and this can be done through a simple kind act. Every child/young person has a value.
-
-
By creating a kindness card children/young people are given the opportunity to look for similarities
rather than see differences when thinking about others and to break down these perception barriers.
-
- Please see the news section or get in touch for further information on our exciting project!
