Campaign Story
Every year the volunteers and local community raise money to give the kids (Lagos Orphans) something to open at Christmas. This year, we decided to set up an additional online platform so that we can hopefully raise even more money and awareness...
Evidently, the kids here don't have the luxury of most to receive expensive gifts or big gestures. However, your kind donation (no matter how big or small) will contribute to their Christmas day and just generally put a smile on their faces! What better way can you spend your money?
They have written a list with a couple of items each, some necessities and some treats, and we'd love to be provide that for them.
For those who aren't aware, the Lar de Jovens offers a home to the Lagos Orphansโ and is run by CASLAS - a non profit organisation that help to arrange social events and raise money for children. The kids that we are raising money for on this page in particular are based at the Lar de Jovens in Lagos which offers a home for young people in the absence of their normal family homes. The kids at the Lar range from 11 to 21 years of age.
For more information on CASLAS, please read page 24-25 of the Tomorrow Algarve October '19 edition 'CASLAS... a home from home'
We are taking the kids out for a Christmas lunch on the 14th December so would love to be able to hit our target by then! Thank you & Obrigado so much in advance!
