Progress report - 18th October

Prince Andrew High School held a 'mufty day' on Friday the 17th of October, where pupils were charged 50p for the privilege of wearing civvies. All proceeds were donated to our rockfall fund, and a large check presented to Nick near the end of their school day. This gesture is indicative of the community spirit and quick way in which Saints will respond to the need of others.

Other fundraising activities which will be forthcoming in the future on our behalf are a coffee morning at Patsy Flagg's house, where donations will be given to the church; the Ladies' Orchestra are holding a concert in aid of the church; the New Horizons Youth will be donating a portion of their takings from a Family Night to be held at the end of the month. We are very grateful to all those who have willingly participated so far. Help has been forthcoming from the other South Atlantic Islands; we would like to thank Sodexo in the Falklands, and the Airhead Charity Fund on Ascension Island for generous contributions. Thanks also to the Baptist World Alliance for making a large donation and being willing to advertise our need.
