Press Release Summary: Codestone\'s James Bliss has just returned from charity work
in Egypt

Press Release Body: A TRIP to work in an Egyptian orphanage proved so moving for
James Bliss that he's vowed to carry on helping.

The 22-year-old from Talbot Heath has just returned from a week in Luxor where he
helped to care for 74 orphaned children who have been shunned by their families and
communities due to illegitimacy.

James, who works for Poole-based technology specialist Codestone, said: "Children
born outside of marriage are shunned in Egypt because it's widely believed that
they're bad spirits. It was very distressing to see the older children who have
started to understand their circumstances.

"I felt very privileged to have the opportunity to work with these children - we
played football, talked with them and generally kept them occupied.

"The orphanage, which is run by Sunshine International, does amazingly with limited
resources but they do need more help. I will carry on with fundraising and hope to
go back to help again."

Jeremy Bucknell, MD of Codestone, said: "We're delighted that James is going to such
efforts to make a difference."
