Make A Smile’s Christmas Bag Appeal
It’s that time of year again, Make A Smile’s popular Christmas Bag Appeal has now been launched and runs up to the 5th of January. The appeal for the children in the Emaús homes has been running for the last 9 years and is a very important part of the year’s events as it provides the homes with well needed essentials.
The children all get new pjs, slippers, underwear, batteries, school supplies and of course Christmas and Three Kings presents. The homes get topped up with gels, shampoos, toothbrushes and toothpaste etc. which then last them through to the spring. Please have a look at the advert opposite and share a bit of Christmas spirit with the children in the Emaús homes again this year. Take a few things along to your nearest drop-off point and you will raise plenty of smiles from us and everyone in the Emaús group.
Items can be brought in any type of bag as all the donations will be sorted by the Make A Smile volunteers and the carers. For more information about the appeal, please email
info@makeasmile.es or call Tony, Lucy or Gemma at The Bed Centre on 96 583 6814.
Picking Makes Lots of Smiles
The Make a Smile Farm Project, which was set up to help make Emaús homes more self-sufficient, has gone from strength to strength.
Using existing land and equipment which was mothballed at the beginning of the recession, the Make A Smile team along with volunteers have worked magic and now produce 800 eggs per week, supply various homes and distribute vegetable boxes. The farm also makes its own olive oil from the trees which have been sponsored by the community.
This year volunteers came up to the farm and picked a record 3000kg of olives which produced 260 litres of first pressed virgin olive oil. This tripled last years crop and is a great boost to the farms success this year. Visit
www.makeasmile.es for more information on the charity and for ideas how you can help.
