Hello,

In the summer, I am going on an expedition to Tanzania and we will be helping to complete the construction of a preschool. Currently, the village has very little in the way of writing and drawing equipment. Both the younger and older children would get a lot of joy from simple equipment. However, we cannot take ink or felt tip pens, as they tend to dry up or leak in the heat.

Please do have a look around for anything that may no longer be used. Everyone has that box of ancient disused pencils at the back of a cupboard!

I am very happy to collect and sharpen them, so do let me know if you have anything at all!

Many Thanks,

Emily

Hi srisky,

That is very generous of you!

I think we are mainly looking to take pencils and crayons, but I'm sure sharpeners and erasers would also be useful!

I am happy to pick up any donations from around Dulwich and the surrounding area. Just PM me your address and when would be convenient for you.

Many thanks,

Emily

Mariamadeit- Thank you very much for offering! Its really good to know this kind of thing is appreciated in similar countries. We are leaving on the 19th July, so I'm really happy to pick them up any time before then. Please PM me a convenient time.

Thanks,

Thank you very much for all your donations! I now have more than enough pencils. I am happy to collect any that have already been offered, however we may not be able to take them all. I am currently looking for another good cause which might be able to make use of them. On the other hand, we are also looking to take some costume jewellery, so if anybody has any old bits around, please let me know.

Thanks again!

Emily

Emily I haven't yet bought crayons but could help with the jewellery, I make it myself but recently have been trying to streamline what I make so have a bunch of stuff that I will not be selling on my stall, earrings, necklaces etc, if that is any good, I would be happy to donate it to you.

      I think it’s depends when you go in as well. I’ve been in a few times in the last month and I haven’t had to wait more than 10 minutes.

      Beginners run club

      By Han92-ED · Posted

      Hey all 👋 I’m fairly new to running and have (perhaps ambitiously!) signed myself up for a half marathon later this year. I’d love to find a few others who are also just starting out and fancy running together in a relaxed, non-intimidating way.  The idea would be a very low-key, beginner-friendly run club — lots of jogging, walking breaks totally welcome, zero pressure on pace or distance. I’m particularly keen to create a small, supportive group for women who might feel more comfortable running as part of a group, especially around the park. I was thinking of doing gentle runs around Peckham Rye Park to start with. If that sounds like something you’d be up for, give me a shout — would be lovely to see if there’s enough interest to get something going 😊

      Try Time is BACK!!

      By kiddie_coach · Posted

      Hey rugby fans,   Happy New Year!   Try Time Kids' Rugby is back this coming Saturday (10th Jan) for the Spring Term! If you struggle to find things to do with your little ankle biters on Saturday mornings, why not come down to Try Time Kids' Rugby and let us take them off your hands for an hour? As well as transferable sports skills, we teach our 2-7 year old members the four pillars of sports that Try Time was founded on, encouraging them to be energetic, imaginative, inclusive and respectful.   Sessions run 9.30-10.30am and 10.45-11.45am on Saturdays depending on the age group. We also run an inclusive more relaxed group for children that would otherwise get lost in our normal fast paced sessions at 10.45am. With Pay As You Go sessions available for those not looking to commit to a full term, there's something for everyone!   Both boys and girls are welcome, sibling discounts are available!   Sign up for a trial today at https://ttkr-dulwich.classforkids.io/   Contact Kat today at [email protected] if you have any questions or would like more details! See you on the pitch!
