JUST A TASTE

My grandchildren are surrounded by people who love them very much and are able to care for them and give lots of hugs and kisses. When I heard a Radio 4 appeal about children of the same ages in such a different situation in Moldova that I cried. These children are taken to orphanages by their families who cannot cope. Without love and stimulation they just sit in their cots and learn not to cry.

I decided I had to do something to help. This year, launched under the name Just a Taste I am making delicious round Mini West Indian Christmas Cakes. Home made and decorated in red, silver or gold they are just the right size to treat yourself and would make ideal presents for family, friends, staff and clients.

Having discussed the matter with the organisation EveryChild , the organisation behind the appeal, I decided to fund a social worker at the Infant Abandonment Project in Moldova to work with the families and the orphanages. Each cake costs €7 and all proceeds from the sale of the cakes will go towards this project.

Just a Taste will be at the Network Fair on Dec 1st at the Hotel Garbe. The cakes can also be purchased from Bar Bacchus at Porches Pottery and Let the Magic In, Algoz.
