Did you know we support and are twinned with a school in Ghana?
We raise money each year to send to Obomeng Primary, as in Ghana all children must pay to access education. At Morningside Primary, we learn about the UNCRC Rights of the Child, and truly believe all children have the right to an education. Mrs Gordon’s class and the Fairtrade Committee sold rice which paid for a child’s education for a whole year. During Fairtrade week, the school raised £200 by wearing the Fairtrade colours. As a staff, we agreed to use part of the profit of the Christmas Fayre to add another £300 to that total, which will help source much needed equipment and resources.
On 18th June, staff from the school and church in Ghana will visit us. We are looking forward to meeting them and presenting them with the cheque. We also know that the children have very little stationary or resources in Ghana, so we have bought a suitcase which we would like to fill and send back with our friends. (By paying the excess baggage fee)
We are looking for donations of the following items to make a difference to the children of Ghana;
| PENCILS
PENS COLOURED PENCILS SHARPENER RUBBERS RULERS POST ITS STICKY TAPE
Donation for excess baggage fee |
FELT PENS
BIRO PENS DRY WIPE ERASERS CHALK BALLOONS LIGHT BALLS AND A BALL PUMP STICKERS NOTE PADS |
Any help or donations would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mrs Gordon and Mrs Molloy
