The school council organised a toy sale to help raise money to support our Zambian link. ‘Nayamba’ means good beginning and the children of Nayamba school are delighted that they now have the chance of a great educational start in life. Nayamba school was set up in 2010 after one woman saw that there was no school option for the Zambian children living around her & her neighbours farmlands. Government schools were not only fee paying but also too far away for families with little or no income & no means of transport. Until the project began, school was just a dream for hundreds of these children… but not anymore.

Our first event this year was to collect toothbrushes to send out to Zambia. We collected over 250 toothbrushes. Our second event this year was the Toy sale.  Parents and children were asked to donate any unwanted toys so we could raise money for the Nayamba school charity.  Three of our council's adults came into school to set up during the afternoon, which was a great help.  The sale started at 3.30pm where there was a surge to get to the front of the queue. We had lots of toys, puzzles and games for sale and have managed to raise a grand total of £92.76.  Thank you for all who supported with this event.  All of the money raised will go to buying reading books to help the children of Nayamba school.
