are almost ready for occupation. The clinic/administration building is
also nearing completion; foundations have been laid for the clubhouse
and foundations dug for the perimeter wall. At the moment there is too
much work going on to allow the children to move into their houses. As
soon as the heavy machinery has been moved, hopefully in the next few
weeks, we will be able to erect temporary fencing around the construction
areas. It is at this point that we will be able to move. Lorna Ford - Project Manager Luxor April 2008 Sunshine UK There has been a magnificent response to the SunShine Village Appeal. Since the Appeal went out last June, the UK Charity has been able to send the £40,000 funding needed to build the clinic/admin building and a further £50,832 for the club house/education unit, thanks to your fundraising efforts and donations. The Directors hope to send a full update for sponsors and supporters
in June, bringing you lots more in-depth news from the Project in Luxor
.We will keep you informed when the new houses are ready for the children
to move in. In the meantime with prices rocketing in Egypt, (as you may
have seen on the news recently) the living expenses have almost doubled
at the SunShine Home. Here in the UK we are doing all we can to help the
project in Luxor by encouraging more child
sponsorship.

September 2008 - Wedding gift Donations Peter Berry and Kym Winter have asked all their guests who are attending their Wedding in September to donate to SunShine rather than to provide them with presents and gifts. They visited the Project in Luxor in January and felt that it was a much better use of money than for them to receive presents . This is a very generous and kindly thought of Peter and Kym. The happy couple have created a fundraising page on the justgiving site http://www.justgiving.com/winterberry that makes it easy for people to donate on line . Just follow the link if you wish to offer Peter and Kym a gift for SunShine to celebrate their happy event.
