A few months ago I threw an event supporting an orphanage I'll be visiting next year. The event was a success and we managed to raise $1,000 for these kids reaching capacity for the club @ around 11:00 pm. There were a few people from this website; old friends and some people I have never met who helped A LOT. Tiph and Bev stand out, as they managed to get the support of a bunch of their people. Thank you!
This Christmas I don't have the time to organize an event, but it just so happens that the good people over there are putting something together themselves.
I encourage everyone to make a donation to the christmas drive. If not for the children than do it for yourself. It feels good to give!
Thanks!!!

We want to make Xmas Day special for our children at the orphanage. A donation of $US10/child would allow us to give them a gift*, with a note inside “donated by (your name)” and an extra special meal that would include meat and lots of fresh fruit, something we cannot normally afford!
A donation can be made via PayPal using hohoeorphanage@gmail.com as the account name, or if you are in Australia a direct deposit into the Westpac Account “ Hohoe Childrens Orphanage” BSB 032 102 ACC 533584
*Funds permitting, a gift would be a parcel containing a reading book, soft toy, crayons, colouring book and some knick knacks. We would love to be able to create a party atmosphere with decorations and maybe Santa (Our own St Nicholas???)J
It really doesn’t take much to make our children smile so please encourage your family, friends and workmates to give $US10. We look after 86 children, 37 living full time here at the orphanage and another 49 that attend our school in town and live in “foster” homes.
