Hi All.... No whoever sent the email to BrenLiz was definately mistaken.... Don't know where they heard that from....

We are still battling hard with the work we do, the last couple of months has been really busy with little time to breath. Here's our latest newsletter which went out a few weeks ago

http://www.childrenwalkingtall.com/Newsletter/2006-09-E.htm

We're still here and still doing our work with the children. On Tuesday we took 61 children to the beach with 16 volunteers, 2 parents and a 5 visitors. Everyone had a fabulous time, one of the highlights was the tug of war children vrs adults (we let them win (honest!))

As well as that we're currently wrapping christmas presents (already done 600 or more!), hoping to give 1000 out this year in Goa and then as many as we can get in Mumbai in the new year...

Many Thanks to all who have helped and hopefully see you all soon

Very pleased to hear that- we've just packed up our bag for everything to bring over for you guys- people have been very generous- we've even got a puppet theatre for you :D

How on earth do we get the stuff to you when we're there though??

Hey, thanks for all that and all the support... Once you get to Goa the best thing is to give us a call on 9822 124 802 or just drop in (preferably mon-fri) at "The Mango House". We try and have quiet weekends as this is really the only time we can catch up on office work and emails... (getting about 30 a day ehich does take a while to get through...) especially when I miss a day..

The Xmas card idea is great... I have just spent the last 3 hours making a few Electonic Christmas Cards that you can send instead.... I hope you like them! Click here to see the 3 cards....

Hope you enjoy them, please add a link to CWT when you send them :o)

Hi Rob We met at Lazy Days on Wed 15 Nov. I said we had brought a few Xmas presents. Unfortunately, we leave on Monday morning so I will arange to leave the presents in some plastic bags behind the bar at Lazy Days and you can collect them next time you call in. Hopefully, we will get extra luggage allowance when we return in February and will bring some clothes and toiletries.

Great news that CWT is still going strong. Read that Calhorn will be taking a puppet theatre that has been donated brilliant news as I have arranged to run a puppet making day for CWT in Jan 07 so a theate will be really useful when the children put there puppets to use in any shows. I thinjk it will really help the children to use their imaginations and story telling.
keep up the good work all.

A plea for anyone coming out before christmas, we need 1,000 pencil sharpners for the childrens christmas bags, It is not that I mind sharpening 1,000 pencils :roll: :roll: but when the lead breaks, I have visions of small children sharpening their pencils with machete's ect,

I heard that!!!! Yes I'm on holiday (way-hay!), it's been such a long time since I could chill and relax... I've come to Thailand, bit of a rush job but now I'm hear and it's just quite nice... Been on the beach, ate lots, done some swiming - it's been nice... I have to say it's a little like Goa (not as cheap though) but everything works.. Very quite at the moment which I found suprising... anyway.. Don't listen to Shermina, and definately don't listen to Sam the boater :wink:

Back in a week...

All the children get a present at christmas as well as a goodie bag with sweets, fruit, ballons, pen and pencils, last year the sharpened pencils made holes in the bags and sweets ect were falling out, you can imagine the trouble if some children had missing goodies, and the plan is to give out 1000 presents over 4 or 5 days,

Why doesn't anybody listen to me? :( Oh well... Thailand is good and enjoying the break, but find I'm spending more money than I hoped... :?

Thanks

How much would pencil sharpners be if you bought them locally? they have got to be cheaper than buying in the UK?

Perhaps a donation could be made through somwhere like gift aid, so they could be purchased now rather than last minute when people arrive for their Christmas holidays.

Any thoughts anyone?
