| The stationery donations |
Collections
from each class were amazing. I was close to tears to see how
much each class had raised. You can see from the photos that the appeal
has touched many hearts and our school children are wanting to make a
difference.
Donations of clothes and shoes have also started to come in. As the donations are over
and beyond mum's flight weight allowance, she has taken what she can,
to distribute. Two pencils and pens for each child and 30 donated pencils cases. She will use a
portion of the £200.00 raised from the cake sale to buy note books that
she can purchase at a bargain price in Philippines when bought in bulk.
The
rest of the items (and boy it's a weight!!!) have been packed into the
shoe boxes to send over in the 40ft container end of July to arrive in
September 2013.
Classes start beginning of June,
just in time for mum and dad to make their first visit to the school.
A BIG box only full of sweets has been sent from USA for these children,
from a family also donating to charity, these will be distributed with
the school supplies.
Maggie will return in
September, with the purpose of receiving the container and sorting it
out. The packed donations will be given then. Each class will receive their own supply of colouring pencils, pens,
pencils, rulers, erasers and sharpeners for school use and each of the 116 children will receive writing tools for home-use.
Thank you all for you efforts in making this all possible .....
with kindest regards,
