A wonderful effort - and I expect a few more envelopes to come in this Sunday. Warren and Stephen Daughtry did a marvelous job getting the children at St Johns to adopt a pig (for one of ABM’s projects in the Philippines) and make a significant contribution. We had a lot of fun counting their money with the various pigs' names and drawings etc.
