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...

Tucking in:

 The rest of the staff decided to join us for a taste:

Ailie and Euan

Ailie and Euan MacDougall and their family and friends held a very successful soup and sandwich lunch at the Old Gourock and Ashton Church on Sunday in order to raise funds for the trip. Sarah and Douglas Kakooza also gave a presentation about the work of Aid for Education as well as some information about our upcoming itinerary. It was a very enjoyable morning - thank you to all who organised and supported it.

The total raised is currently at £750 but there is still more to go...







There were 5 varieties of soup on offer - yum!




There was also the opportunity to buy some delicious home baking:

T-shirts

We are very pleased with out trip T-shirts which include the logos of the companies who have sponsored the trip. We wore them for the first time whilst bag packing at Tesco and they looked great!

Bag Packing

We had a very successful afternoon bag packing at Tesco in Greenock - we raised £500 in total! Thanks very much to the staff and customers at Tesco for their support.

Sponsored Cycle!

Many thanks to Ian in S4 who undertook a sponsored cycle in the holidays in aid of our Rwanda trip. He had missed the walk day at school but didn't let that stop him from contributing. He raised £100 in total - many thanks Ian, it is greatly appreciated!
