Urgently needed:
Dear Paphos Residents,
Caritas Paphos and The Learning Refuge are in need of extra help during the lockdown!

The Following are ongoing requirements:
KEEPING WARM
Winter is fast approaching, and we are desperately seeking items such as gas bottles, duvets, blankets and heaters.
One very generous local lady has paid for one of our families to be supplied with gas all through winter, but every blanket will help!
ON YOUR BIKE!
Norman Tebbit would be proud. Young refugee men find bikes very useful when they are looking for work. Help them
get back on their feet by donating an old bicycle you no longer use or need. You will be helping somebody out
and clearing some shed space!
BABY CARE
We have two mothers-to-be expecting soon, and needing baby items, especially pram/pushchair/cot/nappies.
Also, a family with four young children, two with terminal wasting condition and needing help
with size 5 and 6 nappies.
COMMISSION A HEART!
These heart mosaics are lovely. Why not commission one for yourself? That way we can farm out work chopping tiles
to the refugee ladies whom we have been training. And if you make your own mosaics, why not outsource your tile
chopping to our ladies?
