WE NEED TO RAISE AT LEAST ANOTHER 1000 5KP SO WE CAN SEE HOW MUCH WE'VE RAISED! NOW THE MONEY IS LOST IN OUR CHEERLEADER'S HAIR!!! IT READS 9395 RMB THOUGH, WAY TO GO 5KP

Let’s get that thermometer filled up for Uganda!

In other news, the Elementary Blog has great information about this Friday’s United Nations Day Celebrations. My Mum is in town luckily (as I can’t cook) so I am recruiting her to make some Aussie Lamingtons and Meringues on Thursday night to sell at the Bake Sale Friday. All the money will be going to the Ugandan Fundraiser.

Here is the information regarding how you can help with fund-raising on the day and thank you to all of you who have encouraged your child to collect money for Friday’s ‘Walk a mile for Uganda’ walk as well as sponsoring them yourself. One of the best things about being so fortunate is the ability to be able to help others.

As part of UN Day the students have also launched a Uganda Global Project to raise money for the ABC Divine Foundation Primary School to build a playground. As part of this effort all of the ES students have been filling up their pledge cards for the Walk/Run a Mile Marathon to be held this Friday morning. Secondly, a Uganda Bake Sale will be conducted during the elementary school lunchtime. Each of the students will be able to purchase items for 5 RMB, again all the money goes to the primary school. If you would like to send in an ethnic food from your home country or just send in any treat to sell please send it in with your child Friday morning. Please NO NUTS.

Your children are encouraged to wear something ‘from home’ on Friday, whether that is elaborate or simple is not an issue, it would just be great if they all made an effort. Events will be exciting that day with an author visit from Pakistani Rumana Husain, the Ugandan Walk and our visits to the UN Day stalls in the High School Gym. I look forward to seeing you here if you can make it.
