Community Help
We are delighted to tell you that Little Stars is becoming increasingly involved in community programmes in the United Kingdom as well as in Egypt. We have now stablished connections with a University whose students will be coming to Luxor to further their education in children's healthcare and we are also establishing links with schools whose pupils wish to sponsor education in developing countries and want to know more about how children in other countries live.
These are very worthwhile innovations and help to develop a community spirit in children by learning of others who are not so fortunate as themselves.
Donations
We cannot thank our supporters enough for their generosity this week as more than £3,000 has been donated to Little Stars in the last seven days.
This is magnificent support for a small charity and we wish to thank the publicity that the Red Nose appeal brought to the plight of Africa's children. The children of North Africa tend to be forgotten in programmes about Africa's problems, but our supporters remembered. Thank You.
(Edited to account for donations of £1,250 which were received on Sunday 15th March 2009).
With you we can do so much
Without you we can do nothing
Charles Woods.
Little Stars is very sad to report the death of Mr. Charles Woods of Luxor. Charles was a great supporter of Little Stars both in giving donations and time, even though he knew that because of ill-health his time was very limited and therefore very precious.
He will be greatly missed and we send condolences to his family.
Sandal Donation
We are delighted to report that following the publication of our last newsletter we were contacted by Mrs. Glynys Hobley of Hull who made a donation to cover the cost of sandals for our children in Luxor. Thank you we are very grateful and shall order the sandals from Cairo.
We are beginning to collect warm clothing for next winter as the demand is great and it takes all summer to gather stocks as people can only bring a small amount with them to Luxor on each trip.
Bercause of your support Little Stars is now one of the biggest overseas charities operating in Luxor and we would like to thank all our supporters and sponsors for their help. The children in the villages have very little and without your help they would have even less.
February Newsletter
Our latest newsletter has been uploaded onto the main site. Please read it and see the latest developments in the west bank clinic and what Little stars is achieving in the villages around Luxor.
We have recently visited the village of Haja Marise and added another ten families to those who are in desperate need of sponsorship. Please help if you can.
Statement from the Trustees of Little Stars.
We are aware that there are now several malicious clone sites of Little Stars on the Internet. None of the sites stem from the Egyptian people and, having idenitifed their source, all have been reported to the relevant UK and Egyptian authorities.
We have learned to live with destructive attacks and ask our supporters to do the same. Little Stars is a successful and respected charity and will ignore negativity and preserve its positive attitude as it has always done.
