A STUNNING IDEA
***GARDEN SAFARI - SANDHURST KENT
Yuri Knott has arranged for 14 stunning gardens in Sandhurst to be opened to the public from 10am on 19 June especially for Starfish. £5 will give entry to all the gardens. Contact Yuri at yuriko_knott@hotmail.com
This is a really creative idea that could be replicated for your charity. It is so community-based and natural. I like the family-feel of it, as groups visit the various gardens on display but all the combined work that has been contributed to ensure that they are colourful and a joy to explore.
Well done Starfish Malawi.
The Story of the Starfish.
A father and his son were walking along a deserted beach after a particularly high tide had washed up thousands of starfish on to the sand. The boy started picking them up and throwing them back into the water one by one. The father quizzed his son saying "You can't possibly save them all, there are millions, you can't possibly make a difference" The boy smiled, bent down and picked up another starfish and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, "Made a difference to that one."

Hi David
I am glad that you have shown interest in the garden safari I organised. It went very well despite the occasional rain fall. Around 220 people have bought tickets and we managed to raise around £1500 which is great! We have received the lots of positive comments and the owners of the garden enjoyed having people in their garden.
kind regards
Yuri
