<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Coffee chatting for cancer charity in Camposol

Members of the Camposol Ladies' Chatterbox Group proved yet again just how adept they are at multi-tasking, drinking coffee, talking AND raising money for MABS Cancer foundation all at the same time!

The ladies presented a cheque for 210 euros to MABS, the proceeds of their fundraising coffee morning on Thursday lunchtime, and yes, the picture does show a grand total of 160 euros on the cheque.........probably too busy talking and laughing to notice that they'd just added another 50 euros to the total!!!!!

If you're new to the area and looking for friendship, go along and meet the ladies:

Chatterbox:

Could you do some light housework or ironing? Could you walk a patient’s dog? Could you do some shopping or collect a prescription for a patient? Are you fluent in Spanish and able to help with spoken and written translations?

If you said ‘Yes’ to any of these questions then you could become a volunteer for Cancer Support Foundation (Mabs) Mazarrón. There are no special skills necessary to become a volunteer, just a desire to help those less fortunate than ourselves. The group have volunteers from all backgrounds, some whose lives have been touched by cancer others who have not. Initial training is provided and ongoing support is available to all volunteers.
