A welcome Christmas Gift

Glad to be able to bank a cheque for £810 a couple of days ago. £745 of this was an unexpected gift from the Greenway Primary School in Hull who are twinned with our New Era School in Kissy, Freetown. They raised the amount through events on Children in Need Day and also in the lead up to Christmas. It is a school with around 468 pupils and they must have worked hard with the staff to produce such an amazing amount.

The further £65 was a donation from the Beverley Male Voice Choir. We thank them, together with the school for the giving of their time and effort in this cause.

The Head Teacher at the Greenway Primary School, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, has visited Freetown and met Alpha Kargbo, who is Head at the New Era School. She appreciates the problems that the staff and pupils in Sierra Leone have to contend with.

The gift, along with a donation from the United States, has ensured that the school enters the new year free from any debt and with the teachers in a good position to offer free education to the needy children in the area. This has been an answer to prayer. Thank you to all who have contributed to this.
