On Friday 2nd. July and Saturday 3rd. July 2010. I went to help a Ukrainian lady called Nataliia, Christie with two friends, and Neil, to raise funds to help orphans in Ukraine. After weeks of hard work they opened a two day fund raising event in the former Barret's shoe shop on level 3 of Paisley Shopping Centre. From both outside and inside it looked like an upmarket clothing shop, with plenty of high quality ladies clothing displayed on proper display frames. They had even displayed mannequins, courtesy of the Centres Management. There was a nice selection of baby clothes, toys.
There was a colouring in competion for children with junior sized tables and chairs for the young artists.
The event was officially opened by the Scottish Football Team's Manager Craig Levein when he cut the red ribbon at 11:00 hrs. on the Friday morning to loud applause from the crowd. The local press took picturs of him and his fans,and both the newspaper Journalist, and Radio reporter interviewed the new Scotland boss. The money raised by Nataliia's organisation will be used to directly help a woman in Ukraine who has taken 12 orphaned children into her home to care for them. It was a privledge to help her.
