Ysgol Harri Tudur is raising money to support two incredible causes:

Conflict is escalating in Ukraine, putting millions of children and their families in immediate danger. Over 7.6 million Ukranians have been displaced into other European countries by the illegal Russian military offensive, most of this number being children, whilst many more have been displaced within Ukraine itself.

We have welcomed two Ukrainian refugees to our school, Vlad and Marharyta and we value their contribution to our community. Our challenge is to recreate facets of their journey from war-torn Ukraine to the safety of Pembrokeshire. The photograph at the top of the page is of a street in Bucha, Vlad's home town on the outskirts of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. Please help us on our journey which will include cycling, rowing and running the distance they covered.

Last year the school raised over £4,500 which was donated to the DEC to help the people of Ukraine, we now mark the anniversary of the unlawful Russian invasion by inviting further donations to demonstrate that the struggle of the people of Ukraine continues and is not forgotten.

The school is also mindful of the terrible plight faced by the peoples of Southern Turkey and Northern Syria following February's devastating Kahramanmaras earthquake. So far over 40,000 people have died as a direct result of the earthquake with many more experiencing terrible hardship. Money raised by this event will be shared with charities in this remote and troubled environment to save lives and rebuild communities.

By raising money for UNICEF we can help support both these excellent causes to ensure that food, emergency shelter and medical aid and other essentials can be provided. Please help us make an important difference. 

£5 could feed two children for a day

£10 could provide a hygiene kit to a family of five, giving them supplies to stay healthy for a month.

£20 could provide five blankets to families taking shelter.

£30 could provide 3,600 chlorine tablets to ensure that families have access to clean, safe water.

£50 could provide sleeping mats for 30+ people who have been forced from their homes.

Diolch o galon.

Mr Jon Jones, Assistant Headteacher.
