Look on this website to find information of a local charity who work so hard trying to help children in Mali. In an earlier post I pictured a beautiful door which is being auctioned to raise money for this association. Today we had a visit to The Jardin De Quercy at Cambou, near Verfeil sur Seye and for the next 3 weeks the door is on display there with a chance to buy your raffle tickets. Could be a double whammy, you get to see the beautiful Jardins which are full of floribunda roses at this time of year and view the door. To look around the gardens is a reasonable 5 euros which Jean Donies and his partner donate to various African charities at the end of the year. The website has a button click for English so no problem with comprehension. So often we worry if the money is going where it should. This association keeps a close eye on where the money goes and the founders are so philanthropic they do not take money for their trips and visits. Gill Catterall also has tickets for sale and she can be contacted at 0563539945 The Domaine de Sautou is on our doorstep at Castanet and I am going to ask them to let TAG know as events they plan come up. The Domaine de Sautou can be contacted by tel. 0563 57264 or email nosalw@wanadoo.fr. I have raised 100 euros from the TAG adverts and I am going to send this to them now. I heard Gill say that street children of 3 years old, who have no carers go to the centres for food on a night and safe shelter. What sort of world do we live in when we allow children to live like that?
