What a great day!

Well, after all the planning by Gareth this turned out to be a fantastic day for all concerned. The weather was kind to us and all 41 of us enjoyed a beautiful walk along the South Gower coast. We stood out a mile in our bright yellow tee shirts and despite many sets of weary legs at the end of the day everyone had a big smile on their faces. We hope to have raised pleanty of money to finish off the classroom and furnish it for the pupils at the Good Samaritan School.
A huge thankyou to all the walkers!

New classroom in Lusaka

We have received photos today from Rev Alick of the new classroom he is building with money from Teacher Aid. Once we have completed the sponsored walk in the Gower on Sunday we hope to be able to complete and furnish the room. Thank you to everyone who is taking part in the walk and to all those who have sponsored us so generously. Photos of the walkers in their lovely yellow tee shirts ( sponsored by Warwick Emanuel PR and Film) will be on here soon.

South Gower Yomp

Just wanted let everyone know that the sponsored walk has been changed from May 1st to May 2nd. There will be about 40 people walking so should be a fun event. Let's hope we raise lots of money so that we can complete another classroom at The Good Samaritan School.

Webcam link!

What an exciting day! This is the first live webcam link we have managed to make with Rev Alick in Lusaka. He and his wife were at the school and Gareth and I were thrilled to see their smiling faces. It is so incredible to be able to chat with people across the world in this way. We told him that we would be sending him money to start building another classroom at the end of the week.This will be for the youngest pupils in the school who are being taught in a small office at the moment. We hope to be able to finish paying for the classroom with money that is raised by the sponsored walk which will take place on May 1st.

New Hope School- New classroom

We are thrilled to say that the new classroom is now completed and 230 children are now enrolled at the school.This is really amazing as before only 40 children were being educated there. Here are some lovely photos that we have received from Christopher.

South Gower Yomp

On May 1st we will be holding a sponsored walk to help with our fundraising. The walk will be about 15 miles long and will take in some of the most beautiful beaches on the South Gower coast. We will end up in Rhossili for a meal in the pub. We have 38 walkers so far but if you would like to join us we would be thrilled as the more the merrier.

New classroom in Ndola update

We have received an email from The New Hope School in Ndola telling us that the building work is now completed and 120 pupils have enrolled! It is amazing to think that all these children will now have an education. Some of the new pupils are 13,14 and 15 year olds who have never been to school. Hopefully we should have some new photos of the school next week so I will put them on here for everyone to see.
