In the Autumn Term, the Pre-Prep hold their annual Kids for Kids sale. This is not only a lot of fun but also involves the use of many skills. From a wide selection of donated goods, they have to decide on presents for the members of their family, work out their budget, make their purchases and then wrap the surprise gifts ready for Christmas.
The money raised is for a charity which buys essential items for families in Darfur. The children therefore learn about families who are less fortunate than themselves and have the opportunity to help them. The children raised enough money in 2009 to pay for the construction of a toilet block at a school!
This year’s amount raised was a wonderful £800. This could, for example, pay for several goats and donkeys and the training of a vet .
Well done to everyone involved.
