Year 6 Charity Committee

Madiba Project Incorporated Charity

In Week 6 the Year 6 Charity Leaders will work together with Ms Maynard to raise funds to help the people of Freetown in Sierra Leone after devastating flooding and mudslides.

 

 

 

 

 

We will hold a number of lunchtime activities so please make sure that your child/ren bring their spare change and gold coins throughout the week. There will be a raffle, guess the lollies and a coin trail.

In addition, we will be collecting toiletries in a toilet bag such as washcloths, combs, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap and sanitiser and/or school supplies such as a backpack filled with a pencil case with pencils, pens, sharpeners and erasers inside – maybe a small toy! These items can come to the children’s class or Ms Maynard’s office.

These items will be sent this December to go directly to children impacted by Freetown’s recent flooding and mudslide. Some of these children have lost their homes and become orphans through this disaster.

This is the second time Emanuel School has helped The Madiba Project Incorporated. Late last year a load of school furniture and books, much of it from Emanuel School, went to schools in all corners of Sierra Leone.

You will most likely recognise the blue plastic desks in this clip:
