Our global network of support
Thanks to donors – they know who they are, but mention
Ireland/Scotland (Dunhcan Hurst), England (Geoff) Brett, Jordy, etc.
we have donors all over the world now and there are too many to mention,
but here a just a few of the most recent.
Flora and Jimmy Hurst, together with other close relatives, held a
fundraising afternoon at their house in Edinburgh, Scotland, on
Saturday - it was a huge success, despite the awful weather (yes, it is
summer in Scotland!). It brought the family and community together
and since Saturday they have continued to receive phone calls
from people who came along, letting them know what a wonderful time
they had. They succeeded in raising over 500 pounds (about $1100 -
1200 Australian dollars) for the school. Flora will be sending
this money to you via the Global Development Group account.
They had set up your CD/DVD on a laptop on a continuous loop in the
greenhouse, which was apparently THE place to be to feel some sort of
warmth! I don't think there was dry eye amongst those people
who watched the slide show ("Ah've been telt ah'll need
ma hankies", one neighbour was heard to say!), but I do know that
the warmth of the greenhouse definitely reflected the warmth and
generosity of those involved, who parted with their cash for a very
worthwhile cause. "Lorna Hurst"
