Busy!

Now is a really busy time for Algerian Action, our Eid appeal is well underway and lots of fabulous items are being donated for children in need. One shipment of Eid gifts and clothes has already been sent over and we plan to send another two before the end of Ramadan.

If you would like to help us make children smile this Eid ul fitr we would love to hear from you! We need donations of sweets, small toys, balloons and clothing which will all be given as gifts to children that have very little.

Of course, all of our other projects are ongoing and lots of gorgeous things have been donated to those too, in particular some lovely things for our ‘Baby pack project’ and some beautiful knitwear.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to get my sewing machine out but, these gorgeous dresses donated by Carole have really inspired me to make some time…..

Just to remind you, in a couple of weeks it is small charity week and we will be participating by holding an online Auction which will raise money for our food aid programme.

Lots of lovely things have already been donated to the Auction including a stunning candle set from this talented Henna artist.

 If you are a crafter,artist or business owner and would like to donate something that can be auctioned off do get in touch!

Have a great week everyone!

Save the date!

 

Just like last year, we will be providing poor families with food parcels during the month of Ramadan. We run a food aid programme which assists such families all year round but, during Ramadan and at Eid ul Fitr we give to even more.

To coincide with ‘Small charity week’ we will  be holding an online auction with all funds raised going towards the cost of providing food parcels to those in need.

The event will be taking place on 21st-22nd June on our facebook page. So please do show your support by bidding on some of the fabulous items that will be up for grabs including gorgeous jewellery, fabulous perfume, books and much more.

If you are a business or a crafter or indeed, anyone else  and would like to generously donate something to be auctioned please do get in touch at info@algerianaction.co.uk Your help would be much appreciated!

It’s OVER!

The Auction is now over and I just wanted to say enormous thanks to all of those who participated.

The sale of the donated hand crafted items raised a total of £112.75 which is just splendid!

So far a total of £417.75 has been raised for Youcef’s medical treatment. The first step is to get him and one of his parents to Paris so that a specialist surgeon can assess him.  A few hundred £ is still needed to reach this milestone but thanks to your help we are slowly inching our way there!

I will be in touch with the highest bidders shortly.

Once again, thank you. THANK YOU!
