I have continued to collect cell phones, but they are becoming rarer. So I put out a plea for toys and games, as we approach Christmas - and my departure for Kenya.
Orphaned kids in Kenya don't do Christmas. They go to church, but other than that, Christmas Day is just another day to survive.
Anyway, I just want to say a big thank you to Sophie, 10 years old, who lives in Newbury. She has given up her complete collection of Barbie dolls, 15 of them! Her little brothers gave 4 or 5 cars and a few other bits and bobs.
Anne, also from Newbury, gave us a load of cuddly toys, and some games, such as chess, draughts and card games and a junior Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
Mia, a South African, also from Newbury gave us some games and some seed for our vegetable plot.
Our kids at Twiga are going to have one very good Christmas, even if it will be a little early - I will be back in the UK for the day.
But we still need money to feed them (and to build the much needed children's home), so if anyone is feeling generous, or wants to do some fund-raising, please feel free. Donations can be made with the PayPal button in the right margin.

i wish i could make contribution of any sort but i am so far away. i will donate about a thousand childrens books at this bookstore which then hands them down to this non profit org which undertake the responsibility to spread literacy amongst the deprived small children. may your life be happy and fulfilled and full of good intents. god bless you.
