Help to raise funds for Mwalimu School, Tanzania

Entry to a prize draw for a weeks holiday at Tigh Brachen - WINNER ANNOUNCED

Thank you to everyone who entered the prize draw for a weeks holiday at Tigh Brachen from 5th - 11th March 2011.  You have very generously donated a total of £370 which will go directly to Mwalimu School in Tanzania.

The draw took place this evening (3rd August) in the Spread Eagle pub in Abingdon, and was conducted by two independant adjudicators, Mr Brian Murphy and Mr Sean Wallace. The winning ticket was drawn by lovely Sharon from behind the bar and I am delighted to announce that the winner of the week holiday is Mr Bill Law, from Munchengladbach, Germany.  So very many congratulations.

The climb of Kilimanjaro was a great experience and I'm delighted to say that 6 of the team members made it successfully to the top.

So again, very many thanks indeed for your support.

In September 2009, I visited Mwalimu's school for which I have been fundraising to help provide funds for the building of the school kitchen.  Once built the World Food Programme will start a food programme for the children at the school.  It was a very humbling experience and I don't think i've have ever met such a happy smiling bunch of kids! It made all the running on long cold winter nights to raise funds for the school very worth while indeed (even though it might not have felt like it at the time in the pouring rain!!!).  While visiting the school I also took some  school items for the kids, which had been kindly donated by family, friends and colleagues, and these were gratefully received, as basically the school had nothing.  Peter, the Head Teacher, asked me not to forget them, and to pass on their thanks for the supplies.  I hope you enjoy the video below about the school.  So the fundraising continues. In  July 2010 I will be climbing Kilimanjaro with a group of friends, raising funds for the school.  So the training is in full swing!
