Eggs!

Two enterprising pupils in the school, Stewart in P3 and Thomas in P1, have made £200 from their egg selling business. They have kindly donated the money to the Rwanda project:




We have been able to buy lots of different games and sports equipment to take out to the children in Rwanda - thanks very much Stewart and Thomas!

Resources

We are slowly but surely gathering a range of resources to take out to Rwanda. Andrew got some deflated footballs from Sports Direct and we also received some play parachutes and lots of stickers to use when we are out there.

Luggage labels

The luggage stickers for the companies who have sponsored the trip arrived this week. They look great!

Resources!

We began sorting through some of the resources we are hoping to take out with us to Rwanda. People have been very generous and there is an amazing selection of clothes and shoes for all ages - it is fantastic!

We also have some games and toys but are hoping to get some more things like footballs (deflated), outdoor games, skipping ropes, bubbles, stickers, art and craft materials, office supplies, etc.

(the photo was from the beginning of the sort out... it is a bit more organised now!)

A fantastic total

Many thanks to the MacDougall family and all the congregation at Old Gourock and Ashton Church - in total they have raised £1350 in aid of the Rwanda 2013 expedition!

Ruaraidh

Many thanks to Ruaraidh in S1 who completed his own sponsored walk and kayak during the holidays in order to collect the money he had raised for Rwanda (he was ill on the day of the walk and unable to do it with everyone else). Thanks for your dedication!

Rwandan Feast!

We were very happy today to be able to sample some traditional Rwandan cuisine before we journey out in June. Many thanks to Sarah and Douglas Kakooza who cooked a variety of tasty dishes for the trip participants to enjoy.

Waiting for the food to arrive...

Sweet potato, fried green banana, peanut sauce, been casserole...
