It will be smiles all round when a brand new pushchair, carry chair and baby clothes are delivered to young mothers in the Almancil area. The items were purchased with money raised at a recent private lunch given by members of the Almancil International Rotary Club (AIRC).
The gifts were presented to Dra Conceição Vicente, from the social services department at the Associação Social e Cultural de Almancil (ASCA), who will be handing them over to the recipients.
“In these difficult times, there are many parents with babies and young children who cannot afford to buy even the most basic necessities, let alone a pushchair and baby clothes,” said Dra Conceição.
“We constantly need items such as these and will even take good quality second-hand clothing and any other items which will be of use to babies and youngsters, especially pushchairs, cots and bedding.”
Peter Hinze said: “We are always pleased to help ASCA. They do a fantastic job in the community.
“As a club we are committed to do whatever we can to help people less fortunate than ourselves. We welcome like-minded people to our club and if anyone is interested in becoming a member, we would like to hear from them.”
