Meath Green Junior School raise £1000!

Thank you to all the pupils and staff of Meath Green Junior School for all their hard work in the fund raising activities over the last year. From bun sales, sponsored events, summer fairs and other activities they have raised a fantastic £1000.

Margaret & Garrie are always made most welcome when they visit the school to talk about their work in Tanzania and they are looking forward to seeing the pupils and staff again this year to show what a difference this donation has made.

Africa Trip 2010

Margaret & Garrie are making their annual trip to Tanzania on 26 January. They will be there for 5 weeks and are looking forward to seeing how the community groups have developed over the last year.

As well as all the usual monitoring and checking, they are most interested in seeing what difference our project to help grandparents caring for orphaned children has made, so they will be visiting each of the families already helped as well as meeting those still needing support.

Margaret & Garrie are also looking into the feasibility of us helping TEKUA with a new teenage centre to help young people with vocational skills training.

As usual they will be updating the website with a diary to let you know where your donations have been spent, so watch out here for the updates.

Finally, you may remember that many of you donated goods for a container being shipped to Tanzania; we are expecting it to arrive around the same time, so watch here for photos.
