Pupils at Charlton Primary School in Wantage held a fundraising day on Thursday 28th January for the victims of the Haiti disaster. Children dressed in Carribean or colourful clothes in return for a donation to the fund. The school also held a Bring and Buy sale in the school hall which raised hundreds of pounds. The total raised at the end of the day was a fantastic £720 which was then given to UNICEF to help their work with the people of Haiti.
This is quite an achievement for one of our local primary schools. As I am a governor at the school with responsibility for the PR, it gave me great pleasure today to send in a press release for the local media. The school were able to learn all about the region and the impact of the earthquake and obviously took the fundraising appeal to heart.
