Come on all you people on the forum, you are talking about spending thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands on purchasing a home or holidaying in Turkey.  Surely a few pounds to help the kids who have so little, in the country we all love, isn't much to ask!!

Read 2521 times and struggling to get support  ... How about some of the restaurant owners who get free publicity on this website putting their hands in their pockets to help local Turkish children?? :

[Highlander]

Thank you ladies for your posts urging people to participate in this. I do share your sentiments in large part.

But giving it is a very personal thing – I/we, can only ever give people the opportunity to help and hope that enough of them do.

We do only need another 11 this time

Wonder if it is coinciding with Children in Need and The Philippines? Xmas is a busy time of year for the Charities... Restaurants and Bars Jacqui?? Don't get me started on them donating...

[Highlander]

Perhaps I was over ambitious with the amounts

[echogirl1]

No John you were not overambitious, I would say you were hopeful that more than a small proportion of the people who use this site on a regular basis, would be up for helping kids who have very little compared to the many in the uk who have far too much.

Not over ambitious John. Were talking of between 1 or 2 rounds of drinks.
