Christmas Charity Book to raise money for the Bombeiros

December 5, 2023

More than fifty contributors from over ten different nationalities aged between six and ninety have collaborated in this project: sharing poems, personal accounts, photos, pictures, puzzles and quizzes in a fascinating selection of ‘memories’ concerning people’s appreciation of Portugal.

Many of these contributors live locally and the result of their good will and impressive work is this wonderful, colour book.

The purpose of the project is two-fold: firstly to show our ‘expat gratitude’ to our Portuguese hosts and secondly to thank the Bombeiros for their constant, heroic work. All profits from the sale of the book will go to the Aljezur Bombeiros and advance orders are now being taken. It makes the ideal Christmas present and costs only 10 euros!

The book is currently with the printers and should be with us within the next week. Anyone who wants to reserve one or more copies needs to act fast as well over a quarter of the copies has already been sold within the first day of marketing and stock is limited to two hundred.

Please send an email to twyld59@gmail.com to reserve your book(s) or ask for more information.

Collection for Christmas Day Food Box

December 5, 2023

Fonte do Vale have agreed that they are happy to have a non perishable food and goods collection box in their vestibule for any one who would like to donate. Starting from Tuesday 5th December until 19th December anyone can pop in and leave a donation. These will be collected on a regular basis and passed onto St Paul’s Charity in Aljezur for distribution to local households in need.

There are lots of people less fortunate than ourselves. Christmas is a special time and the Amovate have – as in the previous 2 years – donated to St. Paul’s, this year to the tune of €1,000.

Thanks to all the Membership for supporting Amovate through the year and a Merry Christmas to you all.

Drinking Water donated to Aljezur Bombeiros

As we do regularly, Amovate once again has donated to the Bombeiros Voluntários de Aljezur 2,100 half-litre bottles of drinking water to slake the thirsts of crews fighting fires in the coming months.

Battling fires in the heat of the sun, drinking water can be a life saving gift which, in this instance, is being supplied by our Membership.

Residents who might wish to support the Bombeiros can do so by becoming a Partner of the Bombeiros Voluntários de Aljezur. Ask at their Station House in Aljezur you can fill a form in and make the donation (minimum €12 per year)  which will be gratefully received.  

Please become a member and support their ongoing frontline battle. And if you need the use of an Ambulance anytime in the future, you will get it at a greatly reduced charge.

Donation to Aljezur Bombeiros

Amovate has again stepped up to help our local Bomberios unit by donating 2100 x 500cl  bottles of water to help the teams when attending fires. Let’s hope that most of it has not been used come October.

We thank all our members for helping us make this much needed donation.

 Membership fees as well as other income sources allow these worthy causes to be supported, so please continue to help us help others.
