OK guys have just been talking with Nina about the wonderful effort you lot have been managing (Nina is in charge of our Lancing depot)
With TP's offer from the firm to match what we can raise I have a new target for you all.

How does £3500 sound, thats £1750 from us and a match from the firm.

Why £3500?

Well that is the cost of a desalinisation plant. With one of these babies we can remove the salt from the mangrove plantations and save the islanders crops, imagine how that will help them over the long term to get back on their feet properly.

I know at the start of all this i said we were not seeking money just items, but then again we never really thought that we would have a hope of raising enough for one of these plants until I saw what TP had achieved in just 2 days. We still need the items but if we could also send out a desalinator it would really be a cherry on top of the cake.

So if any of you can help, either with donations or through selling unwanted items on eBay etc, then you never know we may just do it.

post here if you think we should go for this and if there is enough support then i will post up my paypal details and snailmail. If on the other hand you want to stick to what you are doing already with the items off 'the list'. Then all respect to you for that as well as we couldn't do what we are doing now without the marvelous effort you have all put in.

Over to you now

Tim
