A good cause

This blog does not usually promote charities but this seems a worthwhile operation. The Evening News reports:

"BIG-HEARTED Hibs fans are to "adopt" another Ukrainian orphanage as the money continues to flood in ten months after Tony Mowbray's side faced Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the UEFA Cup.
What had been intended as a one-off donation to help stricken kids at the Predniprovsk Tuberculosis Children's Centre has mushroomed, leading to the Dnipro Appeal being registered as a charity in Scotland.
Already £14,000 has been raised, astounding organiser Stevie Carr who is now set to make a third visit to Ukraine to assess the needs of the orphanage, which accommodates around 50 children aged between six and 16, to which the Easter Road fans are now turning their attention... Advised by American aid worker Mike Pratt who is based in Ukraine's second biggest city, winter shoes and clothing along with televisions, medical and other equipment was bought locally while the kids in the centre were showered with toys and, of course, dozens of Hibs strips.
And early this year Carr returned along with another organiser Colin Dudgeon to deliver further aid as Hibs fans continued to raise money for the children. He said: "We spend our money in Ukraine because it goes so much further than it does here while, obviously, you are limited as to how much you can take on a plane.
"Small things we take for granted mean so much to the children, the smiles and laughter you see from them receiving the littlest gift brings a tear to your eye such as the table tennis table we bought them.
"When we first went there, the kids were running about the playground in worn-out slippers, but on our second visit we could see each of them had new shoes or trainers, that was a big difference."
