The goal of this event:
The Lar de São Vicente in Albufeira is a residential home to approximately 36 physically and mentally handicapped young people. Those who are able, attend craft classes, watch television, and go for short walks in the grounds. Many of them are confined to wheel chairs and a few to bed. One of the most urgent needs at the moment is bed linen. The wear and tear on the linen is tremendous with bed changes every day, and very often, the use of bleach.
The sponsors hope is to raise sufficient funds to buy single bed linen and towels for all the young people: hopefully, 70 pairs of sheets and pillowcases, and with sufficiently generous donations, also towels.
