Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I have been chatting with our trustees and we are all concerned for James and Alice at this difficult time.  Since closing Asante they have had funds drastically cut and were relying on fees paid by parents-which was tight.

With the addition of Covid-19 and schools being shut they are suffering.  We have recently heard from James and Alice who remain positive but facing incredible challenges.  This is to raise emergency funds as they attempt to continue to pay their teachers and feed those in the slums where they can who usually rely on a feed at school.

Please help if you can!  The cost of your usual coffees out over the months of confinement will help many lives!

I am knitting animals to sell whilst at home-so far I have knitted 12.  My aim is to knit 40 animals for my stall!  It would encourage me if you could consider this a sponsorship for me to achieve this.
