Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Just a reminder that the holiday season is now upon us , and as we mentioned over the previous months, ICR will be sponsoring the Mugla Childrens Orphange this year, John sold DVDs to start the sponsorship going, and you can now purchase ICR T shirts in resort for £5 and once again these profits will all go to the Orphanage. If you have gifts that you would like to leave for the children, then bring them along to the office , and when we have enough donations to take , then these will all be delivered to the children.

Thank you all for your continued support for this good cause and we shall see you all here in Icmeler soon.

Hello
What sort off gifts are you after for the children we are over in Marmaris in May and will gladly bring items over for them
Marion and Family x

Same here! Would love to give donation any ideas?

Sharon can people still leave left over shower gels, deoderants and stuff as well? Also any towels, flip flops, etc?

Also what ages are the children? Are they all ages? Silly question I know but never been to an orphange??

Hows about any loose change you have in your pocket call in the office before you go home,say goodby to Rami, Shaz, Craig,Kerry and Taz,then leave your change there for the orphanage.
You can change your notes but not loose change,unless you want to give it to the Dalaman Airport benevoment fund by buying coffee and a McDonalds.
I always hang on to the notes till my next visit.

Yes you can still leave any left over toiletries etc with us , any childrens clothing all ages is welcome and it doesnt have to be new, Toys always bring a smile to their faces, also i thought itmay be nice to bring like some colouring books, pens,pencil cases jigsaw puzzles etc, Yes any left over coins or notes are much apprciated and all money donations will be added to the existing collections from the DVDs and the T shirts, again this year john will do another DVd and we are working on another idea of a charity night.

a charity night would be a great idea couldnt you combine it with the party night in may or august or both........

A great place to look are the charity shops they have some great toys and puzzles in for really cheap plus you are helping 2 worthy causes then!

we have a poundland just opened here so i will go down there and pick up a few pencils and drawings books etc, will have to make sure i can fit it all in the case

Hi Shaz, Are there a lot of children at the orphanage? I've got loads of Disney videos would these be acceptable as they're in English.

Unfortunately VHS videos dont play over here, they use a different format. I had to bring my VHS machine from the UK to play all my old videos for my little girl.

It'd be great if you could give us a list of things that'd be useful please admin?
Weight's a major consideration to avoid charges on the way home and I'd be more than happy to leave our bats and balls as well as toiletries, towels etc
As far as bringing things out goes, what about hair bands/acessories too? It'd be nice to bring treats that we take for granted as well as essentials

Shaz,
Due to my husbands illness ,after visiting Icmeler twice a year for 15yrs,we can no longer return to our second home,My friend is coming out on 8th June so I will send you some money with her,it will be easier than presents due to weight.
Regards,keep up the good work

Sorry to hear the news Marjorie but better idea is to go look at your pms and you will see a mail from me

hi admin

than in turkey

Marjory thank you so much, for your kind thoughts, and we will make sure that your donation goes into the fund for the Orphanage to enjoy.

As for the other questions that everyone has asked, the orphanage will be grateful for anything. We will collect Toiletries clothes, Hairbands any treats that the children will enjoy . We realise that weight resritctions do make things a bit difficult , but yes they will even accept your beach Towels, Anything that anyone wishes to donate will take to the Children.

Once again thank you so much in your continued support.

Will have a look in town tomorrow and no doubt fidn something to bring to add to the many things you will no doubt get
