Good cause

Goerge Robinson gave this talk to the assembly earlier in the week. Today Burr raised £111 towards his appeal; we'll have the total for the whole school in a day or so.


I am trying to raise money for my trip to Honduras and Guatemala. I am hoping to go with some of my friends, as well as a youth worker.  Our aim is to help children who are living in poverty and are struggling to have a lifestyle.
Just recently a young boy called Kevin died searching for food, trying to feed his family; sadly, he was crushed by a truck.
I will be going with a charity called Streets Kids Direct. They have set up an orphanage where they get children off the streets, and give them the education they need in order to get a job.
When I am there, I will help build more rooms for the children and help them learn English. I have to raise £1200, but I have only managed to raise a fraction of this amount so far.
This Friday, there will be a mufti day in order to assist me to achieve my target.  Please give a donation of at least £2 to your Housemaster in order to be able to wear your own clothes on this occasion.
Thank you.
