The advent calendar 2013 - please make a date with me.

[Highlander]

Lots of kids in the UK will be receiving an inordinate amount of gifts this Christmas. Some children in Turkey will not be so fortunate. So will you help me to help them.

Here’s how it will work (hopefully)


I have randomly allocated a number to the 25 days from the first to the twenty-fifth of December.

You choose a number and I put your name against the date.

Behind each door of the calendar is a monetary amount – 10 x £ 5’s, 10 x £10’s, 4 x £ 15’s and 1 x £ 20.

By choosing a number you agree to donate the amount behind the door.

I will open a door each day starting on the first to reveal the amount behind the door and the name of the person who was allocated that day.


Hopefully this will be a success on the Forum and if so perhaps you would like to replicate it in your workplace or amongst family and friends to help the kids even more.
