Back in the summer (remember that?) Saul handed out some disposable cameras to four of the kids in the village school. He asked them to take photos of things important in their lives - where they lived, their families and friends. They brought the cameras back and when the photos were developed, talked through the pictures with him. Takes a look at the amazing results at this website and find out more about their moving stories and hopes for the future.
Well, the T-party was an incredible success and well attended. It has raised over £350 which Macmillan Publishers will match! And that's in addition to the £400 raised at a similar event earlier in the year so thanks to everyone for their generosity and support.It's nice to know that as we approach the 5th anniversary of the Tsunami, people still care and with this money, FODAD's work will be able to continue to offer help well into 2010.
FODAD was chosen as Charity of the Year at Nature Publishing Group. On Thursday 26 November they are hosting a charity tea party in their building where senior managers will be serving tea and coffee. There will also be a huge amount of cakes available cooked by at least 28 members of staff from all departments. Della will also be doing a short presentation on what FODAD has achieved and how donations have kept that work going and the latest 5th Anniversary film will be played. Thanks to all involved especially Michelle and Karly for organising the event.
Great news from Nichola who completed Sunday's New York marathon in 4 hrs 43 mins. She said it was a difficult course in places but the atmosphere was out of this world and best of all, so far she's raised over £2,300 for FODAD.We're really chuffed for her and thank her so much for all her efforts. If you'd like to reward her, there's still time to contribute via her JustGiving page.Tks again Nichola. x
