£436,061.

Do you happen to have that sum lying around under a bed somewhere, and don’t know what to do with it?

Excellent – then please pass it our way, as at the end of 2010 our appeal fund has risen to £63,939 and the figure of £436,061 is exactly how much money we now require to acquire Drala Jong.

Seriously though (don’t you hate it when people say ‘Seriously though. . . ‘?) we’re delighted that during 2010, when all our attention has been on getting our Aro Ling Bristol Arts & Meditation Centre going, we’ve managed to increase our funds for Drala Jong by just shy of £4,000.

Our thanks to all who have contributed during the year – watch this space as 2011 will be the year of the next big push for Drala Jong fundraising.
