I have to give a big high-five to Lesley Roberts and Gill Peters, two of our volunteers who come into the office every week. These amazing ladies pretty much run the Toybox Child Sponsorship Scheme. They're incredible!
Lesley is a qualified pyschiatrist, so we're always a little worried she's psycho-analysing us! She's specifically in charge of the birthday scheme, which means she makes sure every child gets a birthday card and balloon for their birthday! And she takes it so seriously! It's great to see how dedicated she is to a job she doesn't even get paid to do. She's really inspiring.We recently received updates and letters from all the children in Guatemala and Bolivia. Lesley has been printing out copies of every single document, getting them organized and ready to send out to their sponsors so these special people can keep up-to-date with the children they help. She's even come in for extra hours to get more done.
All work and no play? No way.
But don't be fooled. It's not all 'work, work, work.' This lady has been known to stop at Marks and Spencer on the way in for a tub of chocolate-y treats. And lucky me: this summer I'm usually the only one in the upstairs office when she comes!
If you'd like to share our mini swiss rolls and help the children, why not become a volunteer?
And, if you don't sponsor a child yet - there's no time like the present!
