Story
<div><strong><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">We have done it!! Late last night we met our target for the NFO Christmas fund, We are all totally overwhelmed with the amazing response. Many many thanks to all who have donated already, and to those who are still doing so. Lets see how high we can go.. There is many many things any extra funding can be used for. Housing, feeding and educating 50+ orphans costs a lot! </span></strong></div>

Among other things, they run an orphanage which cares for approx 50 local children who would otherwise be left homeless. NFO also provides these children with the skills and educational opportunities they need to secure their future.</span></p>

The idea is to hold a Christmas party lunch where each child will recieve a bag of presents. This will include things like toothbrushes, toothpaste, toiletries, some new clothing and maybe a small toy or two.</span></p>

We have set up this donation page so that the kids at NFO will not miss out due to this scam.</span></p>
