X-FACTOR STAR SUPPORTS CHRISTMAS APPEAL FOR CHILDREN IN DARFUR
LOCAL GIRL RUTH LORENZO GETS THROUGH TO THE JUDGE’S HOUSE!
Ruth Lorenzo, 25 year old star of the X-Factor, is through to the third stage of the contest when just 24 contestants compete from the Judge’s House. But this week she took time out to help launch the Christmas Appeal for KIDS FOR KIDS. Ruth is the wow factor of the programme which is once again topping the popularity polls. And no wonder, with Ruth’s singing. She is already tipped for stardom, on a par with Leone Lewis. But it is not her singing which brought her to visit Dorking, home of KIDS FOR KIDS – it was because, she says, “I know what it is like to live in a hot country, and yet to need a blanket at night. I want to help every one of those kids in Darfur to have something to curl up under in the dark” said Ruth this week.
KIDS FOR KIDS is launching an appeal for two blankets and a mosquito net for every hut. Patricia Parker, founder of KIDS FOR KIDS, said “It is just so touching to find someone with so much happening to her right now, taking time to think about children the rest of the world has forgotten”. KIDS FOR KIDS helps children who live in remote villages in Darfur, with the simple loan of goats, a donkey, the digging of a handpump, help for mothers having babies, and much more …… all aimed at making life just a little better for children whose lives are intolerably hard.
Ruth is backing the KIDS FOR KIDS Christmas Gift campaign “I want everyone to Give a Kid a Gift this Christmas” she says “and if my singing will help, then Wow I am happy! We all have so much – how about giving a blanket to a kid in Darfur? That’s something isn’t it!”
Ruth, who works in P.R. for Polaris World, is living in Ashtead with Sally Hunt who works with Patricia. The Christmas Blanket Campaign came about because Patricia met a little four year old called Amira whose little hand-me-down dress was her only garment, and whose mother had nothing for her to sleep under at night. “It can be bitterly cold at night in the desert” said Patricia “yet Amira’s home, a small hut, had just bare sand, no furniture, not even a bed. When Sally’s boys Oliver and Sam told Ruth about Amira she said she had to do something. This is a dream coming true!”
2 blankets & a mosquito net = £32 cheques to be made out to Kids for Kids and sent to
