School Opening May 08 Due to all of the “Kenyan School Funds” team effort and the support of our local community in Ipswich we can proudly announce the opening of the “Hendin School of Learning” in Mombasa, Kenya. The school opened its doors to twelve pupils on the 10th May 08. There was an official opening and cutting of the ribbon to the beautiful new classroom. The children participated in learning and creativity and were given their new school uniform. Samwel Manda our overseas coordinator said “It was a day of great joy for Kenya and believes education will bring much prosperity and happiness to the children of the school” Twelve more children are still waiting to attend the school. We hope to raise enough funds to open the second classroom and employ another teacher buy desks, chairs, stationary, water and food for the additional pupils. We hope that you will support our exciting events that will be running over the next few months and help us make the lives of Kenyan children and happy and educated one. Karaoke Final May 08 The John Bull pub in Ipswich hosted the final of the fundraising “X Factor” style karaoke competition on Friday 23rd May. A panel of judges witnessed an array of previous heat winner’s battle it out to become the first winner. Cash prizes were up for grabs and the competitors all had their unique style of performing. From the rock chick Laura Goodchild, the crooning of Damien Ribbons or the down right silly Proclaimers impersonators the night was a massive hit. The winner on the night was the country and western singing sensation Wayne Fosdick followed by Abba Flabba and Simon Marx. £690.00 was raised in total and will be split between the East Anglia Children’s Hospice and the Kenyan School Fund. Faye Hendin from the Kenyan School Fund said that “The night was a combination of fantastic community spirit and fun. The entire team would like to thank all the local businesses who supported the event. All money raised on the night will allow others to lead better lives”. |
