MAKING SMILES SINCE 2008 Make a Smile’s Christmas bag appeal has brought so much joy and Christmas love to so many children in care homes on the Costa Blanca. Christmas can be a really difficult time for children in lo­ cal care homes, and with over 130 children in care this year, it is so important to support their carers and help the chil­ dren have a fabulous Christ­ mas. The Christmas bag ap­ peal has been set up so you can help these children in a number of ways. During the pandemic, the children were able to choose their own gift from Amazon using Amazon vouchers. These can be purchased through Amazon by choosing ‘E­Cheque Regalo’ and adding info@makeasmile.es for the email. You al­ so have the option to write the children a message which we will pass on. Or you can make a cash do­ nation by transferring a dona­ tion to Make a Smile (Bank details Caixaltea, Av. Madrid, 12, 03710 Calpe ­ ES28 3045 2664 3127 2000 4924 ­ CCRIES2A045) or to the Pay­ Pal account (info@makea smile.es). If you would prefer to do­ nate physical gifts, you can take them to one of these Drop­Off points: The Bed Cen­ tre, Calpe, Amigos de Make A Smile, Teulada, Cafe Cortados, Javea, or Telitec, Moraira. Par­ ticularly welcome are school
