hiya Vikki,
I was kust wondering how the elf scheme went? Did all the children get parcels? I really love doing this andintent to do it every year from now on!
Hello, sorry I've only just re-found this thread! The Elf scheme went great thank you, we managed to find 2 elves per a child as always quite a few people volunteered but didn't go through with it. It created lots of smiles though and a few of them can be seen here http://postpals.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=1296
This is a pic of Sam with his snowman book he was sent
(he had a cyst on the brain which caused epilepsy, its now been removed but he has been left autistic and one of his obsessions is the dvd of the snowman)
We are running the schemes again this year, the info on it is here www.postpals.co.uk/news.php :snow_grinBest wins in 2013 £200 and Mini iPad. 2014 no wins. 2015 2 nights 5* hotel with £300 vouchers plus £1150 Harrods gift card

sounds a nice idea do you get a letter of thanks?
Out of interest do the children not have family and friends who buy for them in the normal way?:footie:0 -

Hello, I have done a slideshow set to (powerful) music, the first half shows the true reality of what some of the children go through therefor some may rather not watch, the second half though shows exactly the same children with smiles created by people who send post through Post Pals.
