We are eagerly collecting good quality clothing and bedding for the next truck anticipated to leave at the very beginning of December.

Being the Christmas Truck we will also be taking our Christmas Shoeboxes for distribution to the poor. This is a really wonderful scheme and one we must expand. If you wish we can allocate a specific child for you to prepare a Christmas box for, so you will know who will receive your gift. We can give you their age and a photo.

We always need the general boxes, these are very important. If you would like further details please contact Hugh Scudder on 01626 891945. Schools, groups and individuals are invited to join in.

We normally have a clothes sorting day in the first Wednesday on the month however there will be no sorting on Wednesday 3^rd September. This means we will have a great deal to do in late September, October and November. If you can help please telephone Kathy Dupré on 01626 891235 or Hugh on 01626 891945.

Many of us will be taking a summer break this year, planning a week or so to relax and unwind. For those in Moldova this is just a pipe dream.

For children there are Summer Camps but these are expensive; far too expensive for those we help.

Thanks to those who support our “Unusual Gift Ideas” scheme, every year we are able to arrange for several hundred children from poor families to go to Summer Camp.

Summer Camps are wonderful and as you can see from these photos this is a great time for all.
