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.

New classroom in Ndola- furniture

We have sent over money to The New Hope School in Ndola to help them furnish/paint the new classroom. We are hoping to get some more up to date photos from them to put on here for you all to see.

Webcam link

As the computers we sent over to Lusaka were fairly old it has been difficult to start up a webcam link with the school. We have given Rev Alick money to buy a new computer and a webcam. Hopefully this will help us to join Wales and Zambia just that little bit closer together. Watch this space for details as this new project develops in the near future.

Sponsored Walk

We are organising a sponsored walk- 17 miles- along the South Gower Coast on Saturday May 1st to help us boost our funds. Everyone is welcome to join us.The more the merrier! We are thinking of also having a shorter version (5/6 miles) for those who feel the main one is too long (me).
We will be ending up with a meal at a pub in Rhossili. If you want more info then contact Gareth on g.vaughan@hotmail.co.uk

Carols by Candlelight 3

What a great night we had again at our third annual Carols By Candlelight. It was fantastic to see over 100 smiling faces especially when we were singing 12 Days of Christmas with the actions!
Thanks to everyone for your continued support. We managed to enrol a few new members to our 100 club which pays the salary of 2 teachers now.
Hopefully we will hold another funfilled event in the Summer of 2010. More details to follow in the new year.

New classroom in Ndola

We have received photos of the new classroom that has been built at The New Hope School in Ndola. Apparently everybody there is very excited and the children keep going to look at the new room.
