Charity

As mentioned by Albert in his very informative and to the point notes and drawings (especially the drawing about the state of the soccer team at Saturdays practice) the Charity lotto brought in the neat sum of PhP 24,630, which, not hopefully, but most certainly will do a lot of good.

A feeding of 1000 children are scheduled to take place on the Mahagaway Elementary School in Talisay on Thursday January 5. This coincides with our Dental Mission and free dental clinic on the same school on January 4, 5 and 6. Should any of you wish to help with the cooking then please contact Flemming & Elisabet for details on how to get to the Mahagway Elementary School.

A second feeding will take place the week after, so if you can't make it to the first one, maybe you have a little extra time on Wednesday January 11.

One man once asked us how we cook for 1000 people



The answer is: Big pots

Any left over funds will be used for what is called "Bundles of Joy", small shopping bags with groceries to the value 150 - 200 pesos, which will be distributed at the Pediatric Ward at the Vicente Sotto Hospital, where many small families don't have much to eat, since they have to use whatever little they do have to buy medicine to the children.

Wish you all a wonderful Christmas. See you on the 27th.

Flemming & Elisabet

XP X-mas party

XP looks back at a greatly organized, very entertaining and all together terrific Christmas party. On behalf of the team, muchos gracias Angelo, Panny and Conor! As the saying goes ‘behind every man there is a strong woman’ we would like to extend our special thanks to Sylvia and Rachel for realizing the delicious food and getting things done in time. Also thanks to all the XP-dressed supporting staff and of course all party goers.

The goal wall shooting was won by Peter who showed up late as he was still practising at www.juggernart.com/games/goalwallshooting3d/index.html
The charity raffle (with amazing gifts / donations) will hopefully do good to one of the many projects of Flemming and Elisabeth (as of now: special program for a Talisay school).

As everybody was still too impressed, the Saturday soccer game did not reveal the best ever XP play (despite running on alcohol).
Please note, there is NO more field soccer on December 24 and 31 at TIMEX this year! As of now there will only be 'foot-tennis' at the tennis court of Wolfgang on December 27. This is a family event for the afternoon.
