Creative contributions

It is Christmas time, and a lot of our sponsors are sending us contributions for which we are very thankful. However, at this time, we wanted to point out some of the more creative ways these contributions are being collected.

One involves the young gentlemen at Round Table in Sandnes. For those not in the know, Round Table is a large international association of men between the ages of 20 and 40, somewhat like (and quite different from) Rotary, Lions etc. With the adage "adopt, adapt, improve" this club has done exactly that with their former Christmas bingo. Now a Casino Royale with rulette and poker play - black suit and tie, of course - not only was all bets finally given to The Bolivia Family, but the club also matched this amount from their own kitty.

And here is another one: The company EB Marine has over numerous years had a practise of the company matching the bar tab at their Christmas party and giving this to The Bolivia Family! How is that for raising the bar..? :-)

There is also Sjøboden Pub in Mandal, where the tip is collected on behalf of our Bolivian children. Throughout the year, this adds up enough to run a kindergarten in La Paz, the Refugio del Amor!
