This year we have not got a poppy. Anyone know who has them?
Busy day for me, people picking up furniture and a bed to deliver to one of our boys, as well as a trip to the tip.
I am buzzing with ideas and asking your help, as you may be involved seems a good idea.
With three friends initially we are setting up an association to help not just refugees but everyone in the area that needs help. There is a lot of poverty in these local rural villages and we all have the chance to improve lives. We have the committee in place, myself, Veroniques Weyergans and Sarah Brown.
We will need 6 to 8 volunteers.
Firstly we need a name and maybe you could help us with this, " not boaty macboatface please"
Some ideas so far " les bons coeur" another "Mains tendues"
If you can think of something catchy please send it to us.
Monday we have a meeting with our Mayor to discuss using a building in the village of Varen. Our initial contact was not encouraging but we will keep trying. Whatever the association goes ahead and we will find local premises for the outlet which will have furniture as well as clothes for men, women and children. Things will be sold at a good price and the money raised will be used for various projects to help local people. Anyone with a truck or trailer who could help pick up furniture and beds would be welcomed and i have willing strong arms that will help us.
If you like staying active and helping others we are a group to join.
