 Egyptian Registration

We are delighted to announce that Little Stars' registration as an Egyptian Society has been completed.  It took fourteen months for all the checks and paperwork to be finalised but this week we were issued with an Egyptian charity number.  We passed all of the health checks on the clinic and security checks (including police checks on Trustees and staff) with flying colours. 

The registration will affect only the charity's accounting procedures and not the way the charity operates.  The advantages are that Little Stars will no longer have a tax liability in Egypt which means that we can now buy that longed for vehicle without a tax burden and that we can collect funds from tourists and residents in Luxor which we had not been able to do before. 

Thanks are offered to all those in the UK and in Egypt who worked so hard to bring this about.

New Cookers 
  
During the first week of March, several of a batch of brand new cookers were delivered to sponsored families in Haja Marise in Luxor, Egypt.  Until receipt of these cookers many of the families had been cooking on dangerous open fires. We are very grateful to our family sponsors for making this possible. The cookers, which are the first that these women have ever owned, will make a real difference to their lives.
