Hog Roast for Chiziro 2010

Last night Maggie our chairperson held a very successful hog roast and supper which was attended by 70 people. Everyone had a great time. The food was delicious and the quiz run by Tina was enjoyed by all. This was the first event to raise funds to build a school from scratch in the Chipata area of Zambia. Thanks to all our supporters.

Feeding Jar Project

Our latest initiative is The feeding Jar Project. We are hoping to raise funds via feeding jars to ensure that pupils at the schools we support have one hot meal a day. We are asking schools and individuals to come on board and save their loose change in jars with labels provided by teacher aid. Please email me for further details thevornz@hotmail.com

It costs just £12.00 to feed a child in Zambia for a year.

Next new project in Chiziro,Chipata,Zambia

We are now hoping to start a school from scratch in Chiziro. This will mean lots more fundraising and applying for grants. The children in this village have to walk 5 miles over rough terrain to get to the nearest school.The roads are impassible during the rainy season. This is a big project but hopefully hundreds of children will gain from the new school.

Kit from Bedford

We have just recived these new photos from Rev.Alick showing the pupils wearing sports kit that was donated to the school by Dr Simon Lowe and his local football team. It is so good to think that clothes that are no longer needed in the UK can be used in Zambia. Thanks a lot Simon for arranging this for Teacher Aid.

Quiz night success

Thanks to all those who attended our quiz night and supper yesterday.It was a great success.The money raised will be sent to Ndola this week so that a start can be made on the third classroom. A special thankyou to The Wilsons who organised the quiz and all those people who helped on the night.
