What’s involved?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Projects in developing countries can face many challenges; not least financial hardships. When we travel to Africa, the entire construction project will have been funded by what\u00a0the pupils and staff of the project\u00a0have raised collectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pupils involved in the project are responsible for their own fundraising. This is a big part of preparing for the project. Pupils are expected to organise events and sponsored activities in order to reach their personal fundraising totals.<\/span><\/p>\n

In-School & Whole Group Fundraising<\/span><\/h1>\n

In order to support both the project and the fundraising efforts of the pupils involved a number of in-school and whole group fundraising tasks are organised in the lead up to the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have hosted race nights and quiz nights in the school which have been great events enjoyed by all who came along. Most importantly; they raised a lot of money for the project! We have also bag-packed in a local supermarket and the male members of the project (including staff) have had their legs waxed in a sponsored event. Ouch!<\/span><\/p>\n

External Support<\/span><\/h1>\n

We have also been lucky to receive support from the Catenian Bursary Fund<\/a><\/span>, who very kindly awarded a number of pupils bursaries towards each of their fundraising goals.<\/span><\/p>\n
