We would like to wish all of our friends of "Smiles to Tanzania" in Australia; Canada; China; France; Germany; India; Latvia; Russia; South Africa; Sweden; Tanzania; Ukraine; United Kingdom and United States of America a Very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful and Healthy New Year.
Thank you for looking at our blog and taking an interest in what we are trying to achieve in Ukerewe. Please feel free to register (it is free) and if you have any questions, we will be glad to answer them.
Since we arrived back from Ukerewe in August, Alex and the Lake Victoria Children's Society - and also the families in the villages - have constantly been in our thoughts. So much so that we have lodged our Registration for our own Charity also called Smiles To Tanzania.
Our long term aim is to build bigger premises to enable Alex to educate and feed more children and all of us in the team have already started fund raising for this. But in the meantime, we would dearly love to send a container out next year full of clothes, shoes, soap, school books, bedding, material etc. To enable us to do this, we need sponsors to pay for the shipment of the container.
There is so much we can all do to improve the lives of the orphaned and disadvantaged children and other families in Ukerewe. Not only do the recipients feel good but the donors do too! If you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated if you could contact us at www.smilestotanzania@gmail.com.
2013 will be a very exciting year and with your help we can send them lots of Love and Smiles.
Seasons Greetings
from Diane, Derek and the team.
