There was an abundance of happy faces in the P5 classroom as they presented their donations to representatives from the Children’s Ward at Dumfries and Galloway Hospital, M.O.O.L and S.C.I.A.F Real Gifts.
The children were absolutely delighted to hear that their money will help with the purchase of new outdoor play equipment at the new hospital.
They were ecstatic when they discovered that M.O.O.L have organised 100 SNUG bundles, which comprise of socks, neckwarmers, underwear and gloves which were scheduled to be transported to France last week.
They could barely contain their excitement when it was revealed that their donation to SCIAF has purchased –
A chicken, a clean water supply, a goat, 2 packs of school books, warm blankets and a vegetable garden.
One of the children summed the afternoon up most succinctly, I felt –
“Mrs Kerr, it feels good to give”
Enough said.
