"Embrace" eye tests ~~ please read

This is absolutely brilliant!!
When I come over in June, I will try and bring glasses.  Would dvd's be ok to bring over for you to sell? As they are light to pack.
I met hubblebubbles last October at the sale, I had run out of sun lotion. As  I was passing I bought some Ambre Solaire dry oil off the stall, it gave me the best tan I have ever had!!

Jenny thank you we will gladly accept anything we can sell so the DVDs would be wonderful

[Jenny1]

Ok, I'll start asking around for good ones! I won't get stoppd will I for having so many in my case??

Brilliant work from you all.....

makes it all worth while for us leaving some clothes behind to fit a few things in for you all to sell to raise some extra money for this worthwhile course...

keep it going..

Thank you Tracey that  is a very kind thought and I really wish you luck with the take-away Made me feel hungry just thinking about fish and chips

[hubblebubble]

Oh Tracey I am going to have to come back to Calis just for your fish n chips.
The Eye project is awesome and it will make a real difference to the future of those children. Hopefully it will also bring the importance of eye health to the fore in the local schools. Well done all my friends at Embrace you are absolute stars - keep up the great work. Miss you all lots.

YES !! all our hard work has been worth it The eye tests for the children are still being completed and to date 120 children have been examined at the hospital A lot of the children do need glasses so if the parents do not have insurance which covers this then we will pay for them  They have so far located six children who's eyesight is so poor they are in need of an operation and one child is in danger of losing her eyesight completely if the operation is not carried out immediately I will be going to Antalia with these children to see the specialist and we can only hope there is enough money in the kitty to pay for all the operations Please keep your donations coming in of unwanted items for us to sell at our charity coffee mornings every Wednesday A further 180 children are waiting for their tests which will happen in the next few weeks and we will keep you updated on the progress of the six  serious ones A huge thank you to all those who have helped us so far

This is the first I have heard of this. what a fantastic effort. I am a member of another forum (Ex military) where we send donations to provide parcels for one of the Bomb disposal teams. We send the money through a pay pal account which has been set up on the forum. Just wondering if it is possible for Scunner to set up a similar arrangement? It could provide a mechanism for those on the forum who live in the UK but wish support the project and who would otherwise find it problamatic to do so (Baggage restrictions, etc). Just a thought! Keep up the tremendous work.
