When the project began in 2008, the building was a shambles |
Now there are several houses in which the children grow up in a loving and caring environment.

The very well attended business part of the meeting
 |
Paul Wightman, the British owner of the newly opened shop La Casa de la Chocolate (situated near the farmacia in Moraira) gives a very knowledgable talk about chocolate, its contents and its history.
But, on his own admission, when he first came to Spain and had his business cards printed, he knew a lot less about Spanish spelling than he does now! |
|
| Four lucky U3A members who volunteered to take part in a chocolate tasting and ascribe scores to the different chocolates.
Fortunately for the audience, unlike wine-tasting, they were not required to spit out the samples between tastings! |
|
|
| After the business part of the meeting, a talk and demonstration of chiropractice led to a rather interesting interaction among U3A members |
