Busking for Nepal

Fundraising, Performances

The Busking Fiddlers were busking in Glasgow City Centre today to raise money for UNICEF’s Nepal Earthquake Appeal. In just an hour and a half, they raised £675.

£84 could provide 20 blankets to help protect children made homeless, £55 could provide emergency water kits for 5 families and £24 could provide two vaccine carriers to keep children safe from disease – so there’s no doubt that their donation will provide help to hundreds of people.

The Busking Fiddlers hope to busk again at the weekend to take the total over £1000. In the meantime, you can donate to the Nepal appeal here.

Hillhead High already has a well established record of Mandarin language learning, with Mandarin now being offered and taught from S1 to S6.
