The total is still edging up, we're still going!
One of my contacts Tweeted the Just Giving link to his 15,000 Twitter followers a couple of days ago, which was very kind of him. We're still working hard trying to come up with ways to get the link to as many people as possible and shares on Twitter and Facebook are a great way of spreading the word.
I'm always interested to see how much people know about the Syrian situation. It sometimes feels very sad that people's lives are being torn apart really so near to us and so many people are just unaware of what is happening. Yesterday marked 500 days of conflict in Syria and with no end in sight it is essential to get medical aid to people suffering there.
To add to the Twibbon Louise posted about on Friday there is also a Facebook Picbadge, a little version of the Hand in Hand for Syria logo which people can stick on their profile picture to raise awareness. Using the Twibbon or the Picbadge is a help in getting people to perhaps have a little think about Syria even if you can't donate.
Louise and I have also been emailing everyone we know with a little note explaining what is going on and what Hand in Hand are doing. It feels a bit like pestering people, but dropping some information into people's inboxes has proved a good way of getting the message through. If you would like a copy of the letter to send to your contacts please do get in touch with Louise at louise@louisetickle.co.uk.
