Generosity of Looe People
In some nine hours last Saturday and Sunday the generous people of Looe and visitors to the town donated £1200 to the appeal for the victims of the Haitian earthquake. The money was collected by members of Looe Valley Rotary Club and their wives and is already on its way to the headquarters of ShelterBox. The charity delivers boxes of aid, each of which provides a family of ten with quality survival equipment to use while they rebuild their homes. If you’d like to know more about the charity go to www.shelterbox.org.

Solar Powered Lighting
The photographs show the components of the solar powered lighting system developed and made by David Rees and Dennis Udy for the Disabled Newlife Centre in Kathmandu, Nepal at a cost of about £450. The system provides for 30 LED lamps powered from a 12 volt car battery charged with two panels of solar cells measuring 300 x 450 mm. It weighs about 12 Kg and will easily fit into a suitcase to be carried as luggage. You can see a short video of the orphanage and the children on www.nepalichildrenstrust.com
Members of the International service Committee believe that the system has wider applications and is worthy of further research and development.

Bocaddon 2009
Some enjoy the water
Some enjoy the food
Some Enjoy a drink
Some just offer advice
Some do all the work
And - others just play with their balls!
Our thanks to Nick and Alison for another excellent evening. We all had a good time.
