This is great for smaller packages and parcels - if everyone can send there personal donations to the government office this will free us up to concentrate on bulk supplies and the next stages of our plan - This will include setting up a soup kitchen to provide hot food to an affected community and to plan the concert - we are welcoming ideas of where to send the concert proceeds and will discuss that at our meeting on Wednesday. A few ideas floating around would be to adopt a community hospital, school or community centre and help to rebuild with the money we raise.
