Dear Traudi and John,
So many thanks for your edifying comments. With comments like yours it makes the work we do all worth it. Despite the children not knowing who has financed their Christmas event, they hold us all in their prayers. As you say the smiles are worth so much.
God bless you and the family
Take care
Trevor and Tina
