Fundraising |
Whether you are a school, an organisation or an individual there are many ways in which you can help to raise the desperately required funds to keep these schools functioning. Money is required for the simple basics such as food, new classrooms, desks, teaching equipment, teachers salaries. Here are are some examples of how our donors have raised money: |
One UK school organised a sleepover for its pupils Another school held a Valentine's Day Fashion and Dance Show The list is endless - if you have any ideas you would like to share, please contact us! |
Use your chosen sport - organise a charity bike ride, a sponsored walk or swim. Daisy raised £250 to buy a cow undertaking a sponsored swim Barbara is running the Rome Marathon in aid of TPOACC Kimberley organised a sponsored 10 mile walk Sharlene never thought she would run a marathon! |
If sport is not your thing - then how about a sponsored hair shave - Thom, aged 9 raised £500 last year doing just that. - or be like Kim and tie yourself to your Mother for 24hours and ask your friends to sponsor you! Thoms head shave |
Organise a tea party! One volunteer raised over £1000 this Christmas by serving her family and friends with mince pies and mulled wine! A Chamber of Commerce organised a winter tea party and raffle. |
Don't send cards or receive presents - ask for donations to The Pearl of Africa Children's Choir instead! |
