Fidel Fahnbulleh Memorial at Taunton School
Fundraising for Taunton School
Story
Dear friends and family of Fidel Fahnbulleh,
In October 2022 Taunton School will be opening a new library. There's an opportunity for us to sponsor a section and to name it after Fidel.
Having spoken to Ada, Boima, Miatta and Gamal they're all very happy for us to do this.
The target is £1,000 by the 1st July 2022, this would allow us to name a Study Pod. If we can raise even more then we can look into other options.

Some words from Ada:
"To quote Fidel's House Master:
Fidel was "an avuncular" figure among his fellow pupils. His popularity and leadership abilities transcended the Year Groups of that era.
Among his many accolades and achievements, he was head of Fairwater House. His death at 19 years was profoundly mourned by pupils and teachers alike. There were bus loads of mourners from Taunton School at his funeral - a reflection of how much he was cherished.
Such was his stature that his friends from Taunton School have continued to organise a reunion every single year for the past 27 years since his passing.
Leaving this memorial at the school he loved so much will be a testimony to his significant contribution to every aspect of School life and will inspire future generations who will hopefully reflect on the legendary character of an Old Tauntonian whose memory lives on.”
Thanks very much everyone. I'll post updates as we get nearer to July.
