Rucksacks galore!<br />
In November we collected rucksacks—<br />
which were only taking up space in your<br />
cellar or attic and collecting dust—and<br />
donated <strong>the</strong>m to a wonderful group:<br />
"GAiN-Global Aid Network", which<br />
supports children in countries such as<br />
Armenia, <strong>the</strong> Ukraine, North Korea,<br />
India, Uganda and Latvia.<br />
Thanks to <strong>the</strong> generous response of<br />
many families, 13 children are now <strong>the</strong><br />
proud owners of a new (for <strong>the</strong>m) school<br />
rucksack. In each bag we included maths<br />
and writing books, writing and drawing<br />
pads, crayons, pens, pencils, sharpeners,<br />
a fountain pen with cartridges or<br />
biro/pen with refills, ruler, erasers,<br />
pencil case, set of water colours, paint<br />
brushes, scissors, compass, soap,<br />
toothbrush, toothpaste, a stuffed animal,<br />
T-shirt, socks, a hat and some underwear!<br />
We were happy to drive <strong>the</strong> rucksacks,<br />
along with donations towards<br />
school materials, to <strong>the</strong> collection point<br />
in Wiesbaden.<br />
