Now for the March convoy
Collections and preparations have already started for a one vehicle delivery to Belarus. The main aim is to deliver the support aid for the Sanatorium holidays in July when over 100 severely handicapped children and young adults have a holiday to be remembered from their institutions to a ‘clean’ area of Belarus. These children and young adults are unable to travel abroad for respite because of their disabilities so our project recruits young volunteers from the UK , many either medical students or future charity workers who raise their own travel costs, to provide the TLC the young people require and enjoy so much. Additionally the vehicle will carry several tonnes of aid that will reach many needy families most of whom will have a sick or disabled child.
Ian Lacey is to take the vehicle and we hope to advise shortly his co driver. Beth in our Glossop office and already a veteran of several sanatorium holidays organised a collection of aid from a Lincolnshire school and from Amy who is one of this years volunteers making her first vist to Belarus. The aid included activity games and toys that create such fun and excitement for the BY kids and volunteers alike. So Sunday 11th of April will be the major loading day when the bulk of te aid will be processed and placed on the vehicle.
The promised photos taken on the March convoy have not materialised as yet but hopefully we will catch up on this shortly.
Future convoys in 2010 depend totally on the availability of funds. We have the aid – we have the team and the vehicles -we have the requests for aid from like minded people in Belarus who operate charities to help their very poor and disabled in their country – we do not have the cash to convoy – it is as simple as that! If you can help please donate and indicate that your donation is for aid convoys. Pleae contact mkeallison@aol.com and we will send you an aid leaflet that will further explain our activities and provide the option to donate. Thanks.
