A few altruistic souls have contacted me wanting to offer a helping hand to our brothers and sisters over here. Chance has it that there is a little project I have in mind which I thought it best practice to open up to everything, should they feel the urge do a good deed for Christmas.
Currently I am residing as acting Head of P.E at Mandela Secondary School. Although Physical exercise is a legal requirement, up till this point there has been nobody taking any sports whatsoever. Principally because there is not one piece of equipment.
Even for as creative a mind as mine, it’s a slight leap to teach netball without a netball or nets. As it’s an urban school there is no grass playing field, but the square pictured above has great potential to be a hive of sporting excellence with a little help from you.
The exception this will have from other charitable endeavours is you will actually be able to see the fruits of your generosity come to life. Rather than dropping a couple of quid in well shook collection box with a photo id of dubious quality attached, I will be able to post pictures of the children partaking with gleeful aplum with your donations.
Plaques reading:
The Mrs J Lee ‘Butterly’ dance mat
The Mr N Chester ‘Well bone’ skate ramp
The Mr S.L. Blank ‘Powerhouse’ gym
Any hoo, I have tried to set up one of those ‘Just Giving’ accounts but it looks like you have to be a registered charity to go on it so I will have to settle with an email (maxkennedy@hotmail.co.uk) should you want to contribute- unless anyone knows of a more efficient means.
In a country where the average wage is less than £10 no contribution is too small. Even enough to buy some table tennis balls would be a godsend as I am not sure how many more ‘Star Jumps’ I can do and keep sane.
