    A few of us On the comps board are trying to win cushelle koalas to send to all the kids on postpals Inc siblings etc. If any of you would care to join in that would be great, it's a pretty easy comp, just enter your email and pick 5 loo rolls to see if a koala is hidden behind them. If you win, you just enter the details of the postpal and the koala will get sent to them directly.

    I thought I would start a new thread for this, seeing as the old one got locked for some reason?

    Original thread: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=297642&highlight=postpal

    The postpal website: http://www.postpals.co.uk/

    I think this is a really great site, if you have a moment why not send a child on there an email or a card. The most it will take is a few minutes of your time, and maybe a few pence if you choose to post rather than email, but to brighten a child's day will definately make it worthwhile. :o

    How to do it:
    1.Click on a child's face or select "Find Pals".

    2.Read their page (each child has one page)

    3.Write a card, letter, Email, sign their guestbook or even send a gift to the child and post it to the address on their page (NB this is not the child's home address, but a forwarding one). Please don't expect a reply.

    4.Report post sent on our stats page

    5.Sit back and know that a child is smiling because of YOU.

    Thank you, from everyone at Post Pals.

    Sending an email or one of those ecards is free but means so much to these brave kids.
    It's also a lovely way to recycle or donate unwanted presents, competition wins or items your children have outgrown.
    I always send some extra Christmas cards their way too.

    Link again: http://www.postpals.co.uk/

    Thanks for reading everyone!
    I hope this might help some of these wonderful kids :T:beer:
