We just crept in to Facebook. We can be found at "mediterraneaong". We hava also started a "secret" group for all those who want to work in 4th world Mallorca. We are just starting out so we have a lot to learn about how this works, and we are not 100% sure if it will be of use to us yet.
Any of you know much about it ?

4th World.

Yesterday we held our first fourth world meeting. It was agree that teams should be formed to take responsibility for the various tasks we can carry out to help better the quality of life of those in need in our island.
We will be organizing meetings with other NGOs who work in the sector to see how best we can collaborate with them and share knowledge.
We agreed to expand the collaboration we have with Can Gaza and related centers (hospices for vagabonds and destitute males).
Those interested in helping here on the home front please get in touch calling 971 676334 or emailing ong@groc.info

Speed counts

The longer we take to carry out a project the more time those suffering and in need stay in their situation.

Marta & Mykias got away safely on Thursday

Dear All,

Just a short message to say (as many of you probably already know) that Marta & Mykias got away safely on Thursday as planned.  After a very emotional few days filled with good-byes and many hugs and tears it was wonderful to see them off onto the next leg of their journey with big smiles and some happiness and relief to be finally going home in among the tears. 

Thank you so much to everyone, and congratulations to you all on what was achieved here over these past two months - it could not have been such a success without all of you.  Thankfully, a little girl has gone home to have a normal life, and a whole bunch of Ethiopian families will have friends for life in Mallorca and perhaps had their perception of the west (and westerners) changed a little, and possibly a lot (hopefully for the better!).

As I have said before, heartfelt thanks also due to all of our families who backed us up and supported us, helped us, and understood when we were not around to handle the day-to-day family tasks and dramas. Thank you - we could not have done it without your understanding. 

Hope to see you all sometime or other,

Very best regards

Linda Spratt
