Soup & Sandwiches in Arran!
On Saturday, 29th October a very successful Soup and Sandwiches afternoon was held in Brodick Church Hall in aid of Dr. Graham's Homes, Kalimpong. The magnificent sum of £1,082 was raised. Special thanks were made to Brodick Church
for providing such a well equipped kitchen and hall.
Many supporters attended and heard James Simpson, Chairman of the UK Committee for Dr Graham's Homes, speak of the plight of the Homes after the recent
earthquake in the area. As he was at the Homes when the earthquake struck he could give a first hand report of the structural damage. Thankfully, although the children were distressed no-one was injured.

The soup and sandwiches served by the efficient ladies was much appreciated, whilst the fantastic raffle and bric a brac stalls, at times, appeared under siege! DGH Christmas Cards were much in demand contributing some £112 towards the total amount raised during the afternoon.
As John Webster, the former Chairman of the UK Committee and an outstanding supporter of the children of the Homes, stated "Often I am told charity begins at home, but on Arran it does not stop there.
When the massive support given by the Arran Friends of Kalimpong Committee, expressed in
donations of soup, sandwiches, raffle prizes, items for sale and help in the kitchen and hall is added
to the amount raised then we can fairly state that in Arran, if charity begins at home, it certainly does not stop there."
