Thank You
On behalf of the children and staff at Bel Air and myself I would like to thank everyone who has made donations to support the home. Whether this support came in the form of money, gifts or time is irrelevant and it is always very much appreciated. I am hugely grateful that so many people have decided to consider the children at Bel Air and work towards improving their health, welfare, happiness and education.

I am very happy to announce that in a recent concert produced by Paul Wilman and the Edinburgh Military band £500 was raised for One Health, One Medicine. The concert was kindly hosted by the Cannongate Kirk Church, and I am extremely grateful to the band members, parishioners and congregation for their time and effort, by all accounts the concert was brilliant and very much enjoyed by all who attended.
To all of you who have participated in the tutoring programme, I want you to know that I am eternally grateful for the time you spend with the children. By helping improve their education you will be working towards ensuring that they have the option of continuing their studies at school and widening their job prospects. In addition to improving their education the time you spend with them helps to improve their confidence and self esteem as well as their communication and social skills. Please continue the excellent work you do with as much zeal this year and I am sure we will be able to see the older girls through their common entrance exams and teach more of the children to read and tell the time
