Charity at Christmas in Marbella.

Just received this letter from Nicola Erlich who has been appointed the new Press Officer of LIVE Costa Del Sol.


Hi,
Please find attached a press release for the Christmas Gift appeal for L.I.V.E. charity in support of the local Malaga Orphanage "Cuidad de los Ninos". The Christmas party is being held in less than 2 weeks time on 8th December and this year more than ever, they really do need as much public awareness of the appeal as possible.

Further information about other fundraising activities going on in November/December can be found at http://www.squidoo.com/L-I-V-E and www.live-spain.org I apologise for the late notice in sending you this press release. I have been newly appointed as the Press Officer of L.I.V.E. Costa del Sol branch and am still finding my feet - all tips, advice and feedback welcome!

If you need any more information or would like to arrange an interview, please do not hesitate to contact either myself on 616399382. Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards, Nicola Erlich+34 616399382


ORPHANAGE CHRISTMAS GIFT APPEAL
L.I.V.E. Christmas appeal for Malaga Children’s Home – “La Cuidad de Los Ninos”
L.I.V.E is the local ex-pat charity supporting the Malaga Children’s Home “La Cuidad de los Ninos”.
Every year, the charity holds a Christmas party for nearly 200 children that the Children’s Home cares for.
This year's party is being held in Nerja on Tuesday 8th December.
The children of “La Cuidad de los Ninos” have been rescued by the local authority from terrible, inhumane depravation. There are more than 50 residents living in the Home run by Brother Juan. In addition, the Home provides a safe haven for food, clothing, warmth and schooling for a further 100+ children brought into the Home on a daily basis from the nearby poverty-stricken shanty town.

The children in the home range from aged 2 – 18.
WE NEED YOUR HELP…
We are asking for donations of gifts and presents for their Annual Christmas Party.
Please wrap each gift and clearly mark whether it is for a boy or a girl.
“These children have so very little of their own” says Brian Marsh, Chairman of L.I.V.E. “if the ex pat community can contribute something, anything, we can send a strong signal to these young boys and girls that despite the difficult financial times we find ourselves in someone still cares about them”.

As always throughout the year, we are also keen for donations of clothing, toiletries, food or money. The Home and the resident children are very much dependent on your donations.

Drop off points for donation of presents and other goods are
CURRENCIES DIRECT
Plaza de las Orquideas, Local 5,
Nueva Andalucia
METRO RESTAURANT in Puerto Banus
BLACK CAT BAR, Las Postas Commercial Centre, Calahonda
OFFEX, Marbella Business Centre, Elviria

Money donations can be made by visiting the L.I.V.E. website www.live-spain.org.
We would also like to take this opportunity to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated money, goods and time to L.I.V.E in 2009. Your efforts have made a huge difference to the children and are appreciated. Every little helps!
For further information, or if you have a fundraising event and would like to raise money for our appeal please contact Founder Brian Marsh on 620791441 or brian@eurohomes-spain.com or Chairman Keith Spitalnick 687417035 or keith.s@currenciesdirect.com
