Rice ‘r’ Us
We are the S1 and S2 Enterprise Group. We are trying to sell rice to send a child in Malawi to High school. The rice will cost £2.99 and you can come to the support for learning base to buy the rice where Mrs Bonini or Mrs J. Stevenson can help you.
The members of the group will be wearing a “Rice ‘r’ Us” badge so you can give your order to them as well. The rice is white, high quality Kilombero rice grown in Malawi by smallholder farmers and is part of Fair-trade.
So buying the rice will help a child in Malawi go to high school and help Mearns Castle High School achieve fair trade status. Please buy our high quality amazing brilliant fantastic rice. We expect it to be flying of the shelves so get cooking and enjoy! Order today!
