New Pictures of Grace Baptist School

Generous pupils!

A big THANKS to Emile Lyons (4C) who had a birthday party BUT... instead of presents asked for donations and raised £205!!! And to Mimi Murphy (aslo in 4C) who raised £35 at her birthday party!                                   

These are very generous children and we are very thankful to Mimi, Emile and to all the children who attended their birthdays and donated money.  We are also very grateful to the parents for hosting both birthday parties.

Thank you for raising this money for Gambia, it will help the  headteacher get a mini bus for the school which they need desperately so that children from far away towns and viallges can attend the school!

Thank you for your donations . . .

The Head teacher of Grace Baptist School has sent a reciept showing how the money you raised during World Water Day in March has been used.




Receipt from Mr Solomon Boateng

 In the letter, Solomon thanks you for your kind donation of £420 towards work on the school.
He has used the money to buy rice for school lunches and to pay postage on items sent to the UK. He has also put some money towards the cost of transport as he brings children from outside Ghana Town to the school. The money pays for their fare on the community bus.

Thank you for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated.
