The Night Before...

Friday 16 October

Yesterday evening was a very long busy evening for me and my two fantastic helpers Lynsey and Liz, consisting of shopping, shopping, more shopping and then the wrapping of the shopping for today´s party at the safe house.


Workers working hard through the night having taken over the hostal.

Having obtained each of the girls and their childrens shoes and clothes sizes we proceeded to buy each of the girls and their children a few items by way of a present from us all, each gift parcel consists of the following:
- a pair of shoes;
- a toothbrush;
- a text book,
- a pencil;
- hair accessories;
- lip balm;
- mini sweet treats;

The little ones have all of the above plus a set of clothes each.

In addition to the above thanks to your kind generosity we have also been able to buy for the safe house the following for communal use;
- an all in one rocker / play house cot;
- a baby walker;
- various educational toys such as a globe, abacus, pull along train for the babies and toddlers as they have very little to play with, and
- a computer!

My word is that the time? I didn´t get any zzz´z(!) quick shower, change and off we go its party time!


Phew all done!


I cannot wait to see the little girls faces when they recive thier small presents, I promise to try and capture every moment so you don´t miss out.

Ciao for now!

Ps A big thank you to both Lynsey and Liz for traipsing around the shops for hours and hours and then spending the evening and the early hours of the morning wrapping and wrapping!
