Story

As a whole school, we are completing an 8 mile sponsored walk in Fancy Dress to raise money for an awesome charity chosen by our students: Aid to the Church in Need.

Aid to the Church in Need fund over 5,000 projects in more than 140 countries around world, helping to support the Church in its mission, and bringing hope and solidarity to millions of people.

One example of the work they do is with refugees in Syria with families such as Rana and Akram who were told by Islamist rebel soldiers to “Either you leave – or you will be killed.” Faced with this threat, Rana, Akram and their three daughters – the youngest of whom is 2 – quickly left their home near Homs, western Syria. Fleeing to neighbouring Lebanon, the Christian family sought sanctuary in Zahle, in the Beqaa Valley which runs parallel with the Syrian border. In Zahle, refugees are looked after by the Melkite Church – an Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with Rome – which has been providing aid for refugees since shortly after the war began.

Melkite Archbishop John Darwish told us: “We have about 650 Christian families in Zahle – but we receive no help from the UN”.

We will be doing our Sponsored Walk dressed as superheroes (including our own inventions…!) or Disney characters and we would be grateful for any donations you are able to give!

If you are sponsoring us and are sponsoring a specific member of the form, please include the name of that student in your message :)

Thank you for all your donations, no matter how big or small!
