Update on Christmas Gift Cards & Donations

Through our Christmas gift card and other related donations in Fintry, we raised an amazing £980 for Sambel Kunda School. The donations will buy school books and writing materials in a class where there is hardly anything. With Gift Aid added, we will have well over £1000 to put to good use within the village school.

A teacher earns £14 a month. A sack of rice for a family costs £12
Fintry School in Stirling is working with them to give better class resources, better buildings, better training for teachers.

Thank you from the children of Sambel Kunda Lower Basic School.

“They have so little but they are happier than us!” said a child at Fintry School.
