Christmas Party at Musu Nameliai

Dear Ladies,


I would first of all like to say a huge thank you to those ladies, children and a husband who came along yesterday to help make the party special for those children at Musu Namelai. Saying that I think you will agree with me that we all got out of that visit as much, if not more, than we put in.

That mouse was brilliant and even though we could not understand some of what was said, I really don't think that we needed to. He was hilarious. I was sat behind Avery and she was thoroughly enjoying the Musu Namelai version of Red Riding Hood. Red Riding Hood on a motor bike was new!

But also there was a lady sat between Irina and myself telling the background to some of the children. One little boy around 8 or 9 whose parents did not want to know him so his 19 year old sister had taken on the responsibility of looking after him. One boy ( the wolf ) who lived in four rooms shared by 15 people, the adults were alcoholics. We looked at the children and they seemed and acted so happy but the homes that they go back to are dire.

I AM SO GLAD THAT I WENT ALONG. THE IMAGES WILL STAY WITH ME FOR A LONG TIME.
