Donation Acknowledgement FY13/11 #163 - 4 dresses from Sian and 2 from Sue

Number 163 on the list is a parcel of 6 dresses. 4 of them from Sian McIntosh and 2 from her friend Sue Nash. A few months ago they had a sewing bee with another friend Judy. Sian is living the year 2013 making a difference with one dress at a time and the 4 dresses are actually her monthly dress contribution  to the program.  These 4 dresses completes her commitment to make a difference. What a fantastic effort. Very well done. Also with the parcel came a postage donation from her book club friends Annie, Florence, Judy and Sue in lieu of their Christmas presents.
Here are the dresses from Sian and Sue -

To Sian, thank you so much for participating in the 'living the year 2013 making a difference' program. It is so much appreciated. To Sue, thank you for the dresses. To Annie, Florence, Judy and Sue, thank you for the postage donation. Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity and for supporting this campaign in 2013. Lots of thanks to all!

Thank you so much Ladies

Now that I am starting to pack for Abim, Uganda it is time to thank a special group of people who will be such a big help in this project. I kept these funds untouched (some for months) knowing that someday there might be a great need for it ..if and when something special is going to happen and indeed that time has come. 

My deepest and heartfelt thank you to Cassandra N Biadacz, Sharyn Paull, Yasmine Bayaziti and Karen Hislop for their financial contributions to support Dress A Girl Australia's campaign to provide dresses and pairs of shorts and in special cases t-shirts to disadvantaged children anywhere in the world. Thank you for helping make a difference to the lives of 342 schoolkids in Abim, Uganda in your own special way, for giving these special kids the chance to celebrate christmas with a difference this year through your kindness and generosity. It is very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Big thanks to the quiet contributors

Thanksgiving Day is still about 3 weeks away but I would like to acknowledge a group of people who I refer to as the quiet contributors of this campaign . Without this group and their contributions that helps lessen the cost of sending parcels whether here in Australia or overseas , the task  of making a difference in the lives of the less fortunate children cannot be completed. 

First on the list is a 16-year-old Kapunda High student Rachael Clifton. Thank you Rachael.
