One of the men whose son was teaching English in an orphanage in Calcutta wanted to go to his son and to visit Mama Theresa. Mr Day, the headmaster of Barncroft Primary School encouraged the children to put together an entertainment and allowed the use of the hall and kitchen and gave the rice for a meal to be prepared to raise funds. In this way we were able to send £1000 for the purchase of a computer and other things. Mr Day didn't charge us a penny and everybody helped.
In 2008, with the aid of Age Concern and the Council we also raised £900 for Vision Aid to help blind children. We talked to the people at the shops in Hemel and I talked to a few of my friends and we took kids to the seaside.
