'Every Kurus Counts' Campaign
Posted: Sat 17 May 2014 5:30 am
We have produced collection boxes which can be kept by individuals in their homes to collect those fiddly little coins that drive you mad!
The ‘Kuruş’ Poem
We shall say our little ditty
as we’re thinking of our kitty
that we use to keep our charity afloat.
We’re not asking for your gold
or for nice things to be sold
and we certainly won’t be asking you for a note.
We’re just asking for your surplus
which often has no purpose
we think that you will know well
that in everyday occurrence
It does not require permanence
of you keeping these unusable kuruş’s
So if you don’t mind
(for we know that you are often kind)
could you pop these little tiddlers in a pot?
For although their value is small
if we aim to collect them all
they’re sure to add up to an awful lot!!

We are being supported by Iktisat Bank, Credit West Bank and Near East Bank in as much as they will be handing out our collection boxes in all their Girne Branches to their ex-pat customers.
The collection boxes are also available from the Tulips Shop in Alsancak, both Best Seller Book Stores, our stall at Chateau Lambousa on a Saturday morning and Cafe Boss in Girne.
Once the collection box has been filled there is a list of banks and venues written on the back of the box where they can be returned to. Or email tulipscarole@yahoo.com to arrange collection.
We are hoping that not only is this a good way to get rid of all those unwanted coins that fill up your pockets and purses, but that it will help raise awareness for our charity across the TRNC.
