1000 Thank You’s To All Who donated Material, Money or Time - 863 kids in the Algarve returned to school with a smile on their faces. - THANKS TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!
843 Children, identified by Social Services, Care Homes or through schools were given necessary materials to begin the school year with a full range of equipment.
Initially this drive started with Back Packs, providing quality and colourful back packs at cost price (with the wonderful help of Gary & Sylvia King from the Golf Shack.) Since then it has moved on to Exercise Books, recorders and everything imaginable for the right start in a school year.
Groups across the Algarve were filling back packs with big donations from Central Algarve Ladies Luncheon Group, Silves Rotary, The Algarvians, Casa, St. Luke's Church, Four Seasons Fairways, Laranjal Golf Club and Pinheiros Golf Club, Sao Bras Smiles & Support for Families in the Algarve. Recorders, are needed when entering 4/5º year, and we thank the Bandas SFA Aristas de Minerva & Filarmonica de Sao Bras for their donations. Thank you to the local press who were fantastic in the promotion of the campaign.
And a big thank you also to the drop-off points, The Golf Shack, Bookworms, The Hut - Boutique & Living, Curiosa Indoor&Outdoor, Holiday Inn Algarve, Diamond Properties Algarve.com Properties, Iceland Guia, Just Barbearia, The Charity Barn, C.A.R.D.S. Lagos, Moveison Outdoor Living, EN125, Explica-me, Julie´s Bistro, The Museum Sao Bras and Somewhere Else Dave's bar, who allowed us the possiblility to accept donations throughout the Algarve.
An incredible result.... Thank you.
