Pencil Cases for the Philippines

13th Sep 2017

As part of our involvement in the Global Learning initiative we try to give children a broader understanding of our world and inform them about life in different countries.  Last year we were delighted to welcome back Nathan and Isaac McDowell from the Philippines.  Mr and Mrs McDowell are based in the Philippines where they carry out missionary work. 

We decided that we would like to support their work and embarked on our 'Pencil Cases for The Philippines' Project.  Each family was asked to supply one pencil case complete with stationery which would be sent out to the McDowell family who would distribute them among local people in order to help children be better equip to attend school.  Special thanks to everyone who participated in this special project, it was lovely to hear the buzz and excitement at the start of the school year as children brought in their pencil cases for other children. We are delighted to be able to send 120 pencil cases to the McDowell family, well done everyone!
