GIFTS
Smile International relies on the generosity of its supporters, people
like you, for its work. As a registered charity, number 1079730, we are
dependent on voluntary income, and through general donations we are able
to respond quickly whenever a need arises, and well as continue our work
helping to tackle the underlying causes of poverty. If you wish to
donate to Smile, full details are on our
Donations page.
PRAYER PARTNERS
If you would like to pray for the work of Smile on a regular basis, why not become a Smile Prayer Partner? You will be kept informed of our prayer needs through
our monthly Prayer Calendar which can be posted, or
emailed to you as a Word document. We can also send you email updates
inbetween the Calendars. The text of the current month's Calendar is published on the
Prayer Partners page where you may also download the
Calendar as a Word document. We greatly esteem and value the advantage the Lord intends us to gain through this largely unseen
activity and would like to thank all those who continue to support our ministry
in this way.
AID
We are very grateful to all our
supporters who have given aid and Christmas shoeboxes, and knitted clothes,
blankets and toys. If you are able to help
us collect, store, sort and pack aid, or load the trucks, we
would be glad to hear from you. Full details of types of aid required is on the
Aid Guidelines page. The cost of sending the aid
by truck from London to the Balkans is approximately £3,000
WISHLIST
We invite you to view our Wish List page
which details some of our present needs, over and above our normal aid
requirements.
