When do we say 'Good-bye' ?

Been thinking (yes, I know it's dangerous!) about how and when we cease to work with GOES. The charity is, in a sense, our baby - we conceived the idea, cherished it, watched it grow, became quite proud of its achievements ... and then we grew old and it became hard work!
 We have to accept that at some time we will be physically unable to travel out to The Gambia a couple of times a year, and I feel that now is the time for us to decide what to do! Our main concern is the future of the many children we support - and the living conditions of their parents. Only this week we have heard of the deaths of a very young child and of the father of a young woman whose education we sponsored. These people have become part of our extended family and their lives are interwoven with ours. I don't know the answer; I do know we must try to find it. Sometimes being 77 is great; sometimes it's not!

Missing pictures.

I haven't really got the hang of all this technology yet!

The important thing is to thank each and everyone of

you, here in the UK and in The Gambia, for your

support and encouragement. It wouldn't have been

possible without you.

The boots arrive!

... and here they are! Demonstrated on the feet of a very enthusiastic young footballer. He explained, at length, the virtues of these particular boots, named the famous players who wear similar boots (and the teams they play for) and even attempted to interest his sister! Thanks, Bob!
