Letter from Lokesh

Hello girls!  Here is a letter received from Lokesh, our 4 yr old sponsor child.  His favourite colour is orange, and his favourite food is chicken curry and sweet milk rice.  His best friends name is Uma Mahesh.  Have a wee read of his letter.  We appreciate all that you girls give towards supporting him, and I know that it not only makes a difference to him, but also to his family.

Christmas Craft Night

We had a lovely relaxing night sitting around with each other getting into the Christmas spirit!  Some of us made some really beautiful cards using things like the Cuttlebug & Stamping equipment - made us look like professionals!  Others of us were busy decorating balls and other shapes into sweet little christmas decorations.  They looked awesome!

In keeping with tradition, supper was really scrummy too (cheesecake, strawberries, chocolate etc!).

If you'd like to see a few more photos, you can view the album here.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Welcome Baby Tyla!

Yay!  Little Tyla safely arrived at 2.32pm on the 14th October 2011 via C-section.  Mum and baby have been resting up and are recovering nicely.
