Bring & buy for Malawi raises £700 with great kit for PROJECTS/DofE goers

 

This week, we raised over £700 for our partners in Malawi with our first ever Bring & Buy Sale of second-hand outdoor kit. 

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, students taking part in PROJECTS and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions were able to secure some excellent kit for bargain prices under the guiding eye of she-who-knows-everything about the great outdoors!

The event was such a success for all involved we plan to hold a second sale at the start of the Autumn term to ensure people taking part in their first Duke of Edinburgh can take advantage of kit no longer required by those who have gone before!

So if you have unwanted outdoor kit in good condition kicking about the house and want to split the proceeds with Watson's Malawi Partnership, visit our website here.

Thank you to the Parents Association and the Thrift Shop for showing us the reins and helping us organise our first sale of this kind.

Thank you for your kind message I'm always grateful to hear from you 😊   We are all doing just fine And our school garden has just begun.We have planted some maize as we are in rain season.  Many thanks to GWC for the support 🙏 May God bless you all 🙌 .  We managed to purchase a tank and pump and installation is in process. We hope to make it ready by the end of the rain season.  I have just realized that a fence wire is also needed in order to protect our pipes from being vandalized and our plants from being damaged by cows, goats and chickens.
