From Monmouth with Love
Gifts for our partners in the Highveld
Stop Press.
There will not be a collection of goods in May due to on-going importation changes by the South African government. Every effort is being made to put correct documentation in place for the issue of entry permits.
Please continue to store goods for the present. The intention is to have the October collection at Griffithstown as formerly.

GIFTS NEEDED
· Cuddly toys (new)
· Knitted toys (new)
· Wool.
· Knitted baby clothes (preferably not white)
· Knitted Children’s garments.
· Knitted Adult garments.
· Knitted Blankets (preferably not white).

Also needed:
· Gifts of money so that the crèches and schools can purchase stationery locally — which is a more beneficial way of funding them.
· Contributions towards the cost of transporting the goods to the Highveld . FOX the movers have given a figure of £25 per carton/box and each participating parish and group is asked to donate £10 with each black bag of gifts to help meet this cost.
All cheques should be made payable to:
‘MONMOUTH DBF’ and should be accompanied by a letter clearly stating that the money is for the Highveld and whether it is for stationery or transport.

The bags should be brought to : St. Hilda’s Church Hall, Griffithstown
