Hello Gerard
Excuse my writing in English - feel free to reply in French
We were reminded of the efforts you and your partner made to raise funds to rebuild a school in Sri Lanka 10 years ago.
I remember conducting an auction at Mike and Chris Burrows's house to raise a few euros
Can you let us have a report on what happened - when was the school built and opened, and how are things today, 10 years later.
Taglines was briefly involved in the story and I think many of the on-line readers would be interested to read the follow-up.
The event was shocking and moved many people to action and to those of us who did little more than give money - useful though that was - the human stories and the efforts made on the ground are of great interest.
Best wishes for Christmas and New Year.
Malcolm & Valerie Johnstone
Bonjour Malcolm et ValerieHeureux hasard ! je pensais envoyer un petit message aux personnes qui nous avaient apporté leur soutien à l'époque; je me souviens très bien de la soirée animée par Malcom.
Val says we will await with anticipation the hopefully good news of progress in Sri Lanka.
Gerard will send news and photos at the end of the week. He is rather occupied with small children, as are we all. The evening hosting an auction mentioned was organised by Chris and Mike Burrows who this week having sold their home at Verfeil leave for the UK. We wish them well.
Malc on that night acted as auctioneer.
