From the 24th to the 28th of October we discussed the recent issues in Haiti and Syria during personal support time.
Haiti was seriously affected by Hurricane Matthew, the loss of life and destruction caused by this natural disaster has been devastating for a country still recovering from an earthquake in 2010.
Syria has been severely affected by conflict for several years, many people have died, homes and schools have been destroyed and people are fleeing the country.
I both Haiti and Syria people need access to fresh water, food, medical care and shelter. These are basic rights of every child and at Ardrossan Academy we have tried to support those who need our help. We held a coffee morning for staff and sold Halloween cakes and sweets to raise Money to send to Haiti and Syria. The money raised was added to our charities committee fund and made donations of £400 to the Syria appeal and £400 to the Haiti appeal
