Asking does not come easily to either of us, we don’t ask often. But it seems less difficult when our asking is really about our giving.
As Don & I begin our Importanter Stuff
journey that will take us to many in need in the coming months (and year), we
ask that you become part of our Giving (where those of us with relative Plenty can give
to those that rarely have Enough).
Phase 1 of our journey will be with our friends (they now
feel like family) in Belarus. We will work

Phase 1 of our journey will be with our friends (they now
feel like family) in Belarus. We will work
with Brother Liam and the Burren Chernobyl Projectas we visit several homes
for the young and old living in state-run orphanages and asylums in Belarus. Of course, we will visit all (y)our favourites
in Gorodishche, but this time we will spend an extended period in Belarus and
get to meet many new faces (and bring your love and support to them).
Phase 2 will see us working with Gerry Clancy (a family
friend for many years) and Refugee Support Europe. We plan to work with people that are fleeing
difficult situations in the homelands and looking to make a new life for themselves
(and their families) in Europe.
Presently there are centres in Moldova and Cyprus, each catering to
different situations and groups from Ukraine and North Africa.
Keep in touch with us by following us on Facebook or LinkedIn, there are stories waiting to be told.
** Note **
We are vetted/approved by the above charities to work with
them on their worthy projects. But for
us, we also look carefully at the core values and financials of the charities. We work to ensure that ALL the funds raised
go directly to the projects and that little (if any) is lost in
admin/overheads. The funds that we raise
will be brought and spent locally, meeting the needs of those in need and
having a positive impact on the local economy.
