We’re pleased to report that we had a very successful Christmas in 2011, raising over £1,300 for the school in Malawi through our market stalls, online store, donations and our Christmas video.
-
- The ugly sisters from Cinderella pay our stall a visit at the St Margarets Christmas Fair
-
- The Mayor of Richmond visits our stall
At St Margarets Christmas Fair, we were visited by the mayor of Richmond, as well as a couple of rather butch looking ugly sisters on stilts from the local production of Cinderella!
Our first ever Christmas video, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas – Malawi Style’ is a hit on YouTube, with over 8,000 views and counting.
In addition to our ever-popular Christmas cards, we sold Malawi tea from the Rare Tea Company and coffee roasted by Climpson and Sons from Mzuzu in Malawi, both of which went down well with our customers. If you would like to order coffee from future batches we produce, please email info@ganetsadventureschool.org
The money raised has paid for desks to be built by a local carpenter for 116 children. It will also be used to cover expenses from having the Standard Eight class boarding near the school from February to May while they revise for their exams.
We are always looking for new Christmas markets to sell our products at, so if you can recommend a good one, or would like to volunteer on one of our stalls then please email us at info@ganetsadventureschool.org
Thank yous
