| BAPS Charities SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDES CHARITY DRIVE
FOR MALAWI'S AIDS ORPHANS
Jack Lundie, Deputy
Editor of BBC's highly popular Blue Peter show, visited
the BAPS center in London on May 19, 2007, to conclude BAPS
Charities' efforts for the "Blue Peter ShoeBiz Appeal."
The appeal, in support of a worldwide UNICEF campaign, was
aimed at helping needy children in Malawi orphaned through
AIDS.
With the help of
BAPS volunteers, enthusiastic parents and children had collected
4,221 pairs of shoes for the charity drive. Many of the
pairs were new and unopened which provided a testimony to
the generosity of the donors. The children had launched
the appeal four months previously, on January 27, 2007,
in the presence of Blue Peter presenter Andy Akinwolere.
Jack Lundie presented
a certificate in recognition of the collective efforts of
BAPS and offered his gratitude and praise for the dedication
and commitment of its volunteers.
