Racing for Open Arms

Captain Baz took us horse racing this week - and all from the comfort of our sofas.

140 new shorts and dresses ready to go

Elaine Thow has been busy over lockdown making beautiful new dresses and shorts for the children at Thom's Colourful School and Open Arms Nursery. Now retired from George Watson's College primary school, Elaine has recycled some of the curtains and bedsheets you have donated into 140 sets of new school uniform and decorated them with ribbons and colourful pockets. Too often, a lack of clothing prevents children from attending school in Malawi so these clothes will be invaluable. Thank you Elaine!  We can't wait to take them out to Malawi, once restrictions allow.

In a bid to support Tom and Petal's reforestation campaign, we're travelling 7,756 miles to Blantyre - Strava style.  You too can get involved for a £10 donation and a whole lot of peddling, running (or gentle walking). 

PPE direct to the school door

Many thanks to Aaran and Paul for delivering essential personal protective equipment to our three partner schools in Mangochi: MCV, Bolera Palms and Thom's Colourful Classrooms.
