Hello,

In the summer, I am going on an expedition to Tanzania and we will be helping to complete the construction of a preschool. Currently, the village has very little in the way of writing and drawing equipment. Both the younger and older children would get a lot of joy from simple equipment. However, we cannot take ink or felt tip pens, as they tend to dry up or leak in the heat.

Please do have a look around for anything that may no longer be used. Everyone has that box of ancient disused pencils at the back of a cupboard!

I am very happy to collect and sharpen them, so do let me know if you have anything at all!

Many Thanks,

Emily

Hi srisky,

That is very generous of you!

I think we are mainly looking to take pencils and crayons, but I'm sure sharpeners and erasers would also be useful!

I am happy to pick up any donations from around Dulwich and the surrounding area. Just PM me your address and when would be convenient for you.

Many thanks,

Emily

Thank you very much for all your donations! I now have more than enough pencils. I am happy to collect any that have already been offered, however we may not be able to take them all. I am currently looking for another good cause which might be able to make use of them. On the other hand, we are also looking to take some costume jewellery, so if anybody has any old bits around, please let me know.

Thanks again!

Emily

Emily I haven't yet bought crayons but could help with the jewellery, I make it myself but recently have been trying to streamline what I make so have a bunch of stuff that I will not be selling on my stall, earrings, necklaces etc, if that is any good, I would be happy to donate it to you.

      Flu and Covid jabs locally

      By ianr · Posted

      Pesky things, viruses, that's what they do.  My understanding's been that every year 'they' have to make a decision, early in the year, about what mix to make, to produce the mass of vaccine best suited to whatever configuration the viruses are likely to be in several months later.  Not surprisingly, they can't always be making the best choice or something that seems like it.  I remember a few years ago, being mildly amused to find that year's statistics revealing, iirc, that the over-65's who'd received the vaccine got more flu than them as hadn't.

      Personal training - Gokay fitness

      By GHR · Posted

      Just a quick post marking my 18 month anniversary of PT classes with Gok's team - strong recommend for the set up (indoor and outdoor training, good quality equipment) but more importantly the trainers - I have worked with three of them during my time there (Francisco, Ilona and Alex) all of whom bring something different, but have a common bond of great energy and support. After my time with them I am over 10 KG down but perhaps more importantly much fitter, more flexible and much stronger. If you are thinking of PT or group fitness classes, please do check them out.

      Opus Dei - tara chuck

      By Sue · Posted

      It took me some time to get the tara chuck reference, and every time I see anything about a pope I'm reminded of Conclave. Sephiroth, I skimmed through the article but I'm still bemused. Too early in the day, it's only just gone ten 🤣 Can you explain in a few words (preferably short words) what Opus Dei is? My O level Latin (massively useful in everyday life, obviously) says Work of God, but I assume it's some organisation associated with the Catholic church, that I should know what it is, grammar.
