GILEAD Foundations would like to say a big thank you to the many companies, schools, colleges, churches and individuals who have given items of food, clothing and shoe boxes for our ongoing work in Romania. The aid was delivered safely to a village in Santana last month.

Mole Valley Farmers and Mole Avon were among the local agricultural merchants who gladly gave of their produce, while Lancashire Dairies and Baco Consumer Products were a few of the national companies who donated.

We are very grateful to everyone for their time and effort in helping. Wessex Daf fixed our lorry before the trip and Leyland gave a night heater and other parts — totally free. Many more children are able to smile today because of such kindness and we at Gilead remain grateful to you.
