I received a letter today from Elizabeth in Australia. Stop..backup... On Sunday we, Elizabeth and I were contacted via e-mail by Jeannie Ward who works for a women's shelter in Sydney, she really loved our project and what we are accomplishing. On Oct. 9th, they are having a "Community Cares Day" to help raise awareness of domestic/family violence and related issues. She invited us to be involved in some way.
OK...fast forward to today...
Elizabeth, our Australian CDP sponsor received her first doll donation in the mail! She is hoping that Jeannie will be able to display these with flyers for the "Community Cares Day". The timing could not have been any better.
It never ceases to amaze me how the powers that be deliver.
Now here is the photo Elizabeth included
These wonderful dolls are from a well known Australian doll designer, Delys Brady, who has donated part of her collection. A lovely lady and a lovely gesture!
Once again, thank you one and all for your participation and support for our project. It is because of every individual that our group is such a success.
Smiles to All,
Brenda
