Poems,Pints and Ploughman's Supper

We will be holding another fundraising event on Saturday 3rd October and hope that lots of people will come around and enjoy the fun. For further details email me and I will send you a flyer. The address is thevornz@hotmail.com
Hope to see you there!

Classroom now started

We have just received photos from The New Hope School in Ndola showing that they have already started to dig the foundations. They are very excited and I am sure that this room will help the school to educate far more children in the future.

Tables for Good Samaritan School

We are pleased to say that we have transferred 300 dollars today to Rev Alick so that he can buy 10 new tables for the community hall. We hope that both the community and the pupils will find these useful.

new classroom-new school

Teacher Aid have decided to branch out and help another school in Zambia. Today we have agreed to fund the building of a new classroom for the New Hope School in Ndola.At present they only have 2 classrooms and they are able to educate 40 children.They also have a feeding centre that feeds 150 children. Hopefully by providing another classroom more pupils will be able to access lessons. We are very grateful to Rev.Alick Malama for providing us with the contact to this school.
We will be applying to The Kitchen Table Trust for a grant to build a further classroom as they kindly helped us build the community hall at The Good Samaritan School. Will let you all know if the application is successful.

Online at last

I am thrilled to say that I have had an email from Rev Alick telling us that at last they have been connected up to the internet! Now we want to get a webcam up and running so that schools in UK will be able to speak directly to the pupils in Africa- how incredibly exciting.

Bingo!

Thanks to Val ( in the pink) an old school friend who was our bingo caller for the night.This proved to be a great money spinner and added greatly to the overall takings on the night. You can also see Bev ( pink sunburnt arm!) who never fails to support our events. Her daughter Holly hopes to go over to the school in 2010 to help out for a few weeks. If anyone else is interested in doing some volunteering at the school drop us an email.

Casino and supper night

We held a very successful Casino and Supper Night last night.The weather was incredibly kind to us and everyone seemed to have great fun. Thanks to all who supported us.Your generous donations will help further our work in Zambia. The picture shows my mum and a group of her friends enjoying the evening.
