Half Term is ending...





I found this aerial photo knocking about and thought I'd add it so that you can see our wonderful world for yourselves! I am making the most of the quiet time afforded by its being half term week –although school does restart on Monday. We are planning to resume our normal opening hours next week, having had to shorten them for the past couple of months as we were waiting for our new volunteers to arrive. Now though, we've got Rema, Heritiana and Mampionona with us and they have 'hit the ground running.' I often wonder at the way in which our overseas volunteers manage to fit in with our funny little ways so quickly and effectively. It can't be easy!


Our friends from Manchester arrived last Monday with a van load of goodies to supply our boutique and we will be sorting and putting them on sale over the next couple of weeks. We are also making cards and goods for our Christmas Fayre on 15th November. This is earlier than last year, but everyone seems to be already in the throes of Christmas shopping (and I'm expecting to see trimmings appear any day now) so we're hoping to have a good response. All proceeds are going to Akany Avoko in the hope that we can help them celebrate and have a very happy Christmas this year.
