My eyes are pretty poor too, but I think there is a request in there for stationaries.

I depart to The Gambia next week with a lot of 'stationaries' for various schools & charitable foundations. I would be happy to provide a box of goodies for these guys too if you'd like & can deliver them in person with greetings from UKGSer.

Let me have the full contact details if you'd like this.

I'm not

quite as blind as you other chaps yet. It is a thank-you letter from The St Francis Basic Cycle school in West Africa for the 'mountain of gifts' sent by yer man.

See they were all wrong when they said IT makes you go blind & my palms are not hairy!
 
here yar!!

A letter of apreciation, gratitude and thanks giving

A gift is given out for the common good of mankind is always a wonderful one.
When a hand of gifts is given out to the needy there is nothing but to show appreciation gratitude and say a million times thank you.

We were never expecting such a gift of that nature. When you gave us different patterns and sizes of jersies for our football teams, a bag full of pens and a guitar, to us is a mountain of gifts. This is why I have been asked by the staff and pupils to extend to you our sincere gratitude, appreciation and to say thank you a thousand folds.

I would like to start a link with you and encourage you from time to time to extend to us such a beautiful hand. Infact I would rather you gather a pack of stationeries,
Used jersies and anyother materials you would think valuable for us here and send it over for our use.
