Exciting news from Darfur for mothers who have been begging for kindergartens for their children

Exciting news from Darfur for mothers who have been begging for kindergartens for their children Not only are the 2 new kindergartens now completed at Abu Degeise and Azagarfa, but despite the village of Um Gaal having been attacked, people have returned and are once again working to complete the walls around their new school.  It took some time to gather all the educational toys, equipment and outdoor activities for these Kindergartens, but the leaders came to our little office in El Fasher last week to collect everything. “I found it particularly touching to think of the new uniforms in the colours of Kids for Kids – blue for the sky and yellow for the sand – and thinking of children having something new to wear for the first time in their lives.”  Said Patricia Parker our CEO.  “When visiting Darfur I have never seen a child in new clothes”.  Everything in Darfur is a hand-me-down until it looses its colour and becomes threadbare.

KICS Swimathon – another fantastic achievement!

“The Annual KICS Senior Swim-a-thon was completed on Thursday, May 7th 2015. Students in Years 7-10 swam in honour of Kids for Kids, with money going towards building clean water access for children in Darfur. Students swam for 45 minutes while teachers counted the lengths they completed. We had music and snacks available once students completed their swim. A football tournament ran parallel to the swim event so females and males could swim separately. Students showed admirable spirit and commitment, with many swimming personal bests. They enjoyed the challenge and were inspired to partake in activity that their peers in Darfur would have enjoyed. All students in Years 7 -10 have contributed donations and a new record was set this year by a Year 8 student who collected 2502 SDG. In the end, students raised over 24,000 SDG. We are thrilled with their efforts and commend all students for their hard work and contributions. ” Huge thanks from all of us at Kids for Kids.  You are such an inspiration!

Bishop Thomas Grant School does it again!

The sun shone brightly through the windows of the BTG main hall in Streatham, South London, as students set up their stalls for the annual Easter Fair. The Fair was the final event in the Lent charity collections programme. Among the attractions were computer games, apple dunking, shooting balloons, naming the donkey, nail painting, milk shakes and even a chocolate fountain. The BTG photo-booth proved very popular, as was the DJ stand where students could pay a small fee to request a piece of music. John House had raised £2292.45 for Kids for Kids – “a magnificent achievement,” said Head, Mary Murray. A huge thank you to all involved from Kids for Kids!
