It was great to have Steve and Dennis join me tonight. They are two Ingatestone postmen who are about to embark on their second aid mission to Kosovo. They came and talked with me in July 2012 before their first trip and tonight they were able to talk enthusiastically and with conviction about their experiences and why they consider taking aid to this forgotten region of Europe is so important. They paid tribute to the generosity of the people who have supported the collection of aid items, which has been based at Ingatestone Post Office.They will be leaving next Friday, driving a 7.5 ton truck as part of a Hope and Aid Direct convoy. Look up the charity on the internet to find out more. If you would like to support them, visit www.justgiving.com/ingatestoneposties or like them on www.facebook.com/ingatestoneposties
