As the days pass we keep getting closer and closer to the "other" holiday season - I'm still refusing to use the "X" word. But no reason for kids to be affected by my grumpiness, so...
ASOLAN, the "Asociación Oficial de Alojamiento en Lanzarote", is organising a Toy Collection Campaign so less fortunate children of Lanzarote will have a visit from Santa too.
In their own words: "Deposit your new or used toys in good condition before December 20th in the reception of the participating establishments. All toys will be donated to "Cáritas Parroquial" for distribution among children in Lanzarote"
These are the participating establishments by area:
Costa Teguise:
H10 Lanzarote Gardens
Hotel Melià Salinas
Sands Beach Resort
Matagorda:
Hotel Sol Lanzarote
Nautilus Lanzarote Art&Biosphere Bungalows
Puerto del Carmen:
Apartamentos Relaxia Lanzaplaya
Apartamentos Barcarola
Fariones Hoteles
"Because all toys need a child". Reason enough for me.
