I am a teacher at a primary school in Blackburn that had the wonderful privilege of meeting some of your incredible children today (23/09/09). I was genuinely humbled by the extraordinary maturity, amazing talents and desperate backgrounds that these children faced and would love nothing more than to extend my support to your incredible organisation. I wonder if you could update me on the sponsorship position for the children who visited our school today?

Email from someone who had seen them at a primary school
'I'll come along to the event at Blackburn Cathedral on October 13th. I'm really sorry but would I be able to just collect the tins as the event is very emotional and after seeing them at our Primary School, I don't think I could sit through it again but want to do something to help.
Is it ok to have the tins near the till where i work ?'

Thank you for singing in my school today called St Peter’s RC primary school, Blackburn. I really enjoyed the singing and stories you told, and I enjoyed the demonstration of the girl carrying water on her head. the young boy at the front really made me laugh and I thought the boy doing the drumming was really good. Thank you again for visiting my school

What a fabulous day, I am blown away by the energy and dedication you have and all you have achieved so far. It has been a delight spending time with the children, I hope they had as much fun as we did. The time went so quickly, we could have done with another hour or two! The children's singing, their spirit and joyfulness certainly touches everyone deeply. Thank you for coming to Trinity,

Hello
I had the pleasure of seeing the children of Bethany today at the University Centre in Blackburn. This was the first time I had heard of the organisation and I am absolutely overwhemled by the work carried out by the people involved.
The children were an inspiration to watch, I thoroughly enjoyed the short time they spent with us.
I have been on the website as I am very interested by this organisation.
May I take this opprtunity to say a big thank you to the children of Bethany and all involved.
God bless them all

My boys at the school really enjoyed the presentation. They came home showing me the dancing and singing also. They said that the children were going to perform at the Cathederal and that they would like to go !
There's been a huge positive response, all the children are really interested in hearing more and very taken with the choir, Denis in particular!

The Bethany family are so lovely and truly inspirational. They are the sweetest, and most polite children I have met. They always make me feel so humble...especially when I compare our 'materialistic' lifestyles to theirs..... and yet they always seem so happy.
