In assembly today the school council presented Ian Richardson with a cheque for £320 to help support the Chilli Children Project.

The Chilli Children Trust is a Christian charity working to improve the lives of thousands of children in Uganda, Africa.

The Project team go out from Rukungiri Town on regular surveys to identify needy children and to provide them with access to:

  • Chilli growing for income
  • Education
  • Life skills
  • Medical outreach
  • Surgery

Ian sent me a lovely email after the assembly.

Hello Mrs. Clayton.Thanks so much for welcoming me into school this morning - the children have done a wonderful job of raising money for the projects in Uganda. I’ll bring some gifts back from Uganda for school to have a look at and maybe display somewhere, if you’d like to. Thanks again for your efforts, it’s hugely appreciated!

Well done to all our children. We are very proud of you.
