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

Thank you all for your support.

Loz - Thank you for the suggestion. I think we are really looking to take second hand stationary, as our cash fundraising is being spent on more expensive things such as building materials and paint.

Mariababe - It would be lovely to be able to take books, but unfortunately I don't think our baggage allowance will allow for it. Please do PM me if you would like me to pick up any pencils you do have. Many thanks. I have copied this post to the family room, 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

    • tried the traditional beef empanada yesterday and it was amazing honestly, hotter and better than the other place (no offence!). I really don’t see the issue with having more than one of the same type of shop – we’ve got Indian restaurants, two supermarkets, two cheese shops, two pizza joints, even two paint shops! So I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Good food is good food, and there’s room for everyone.
    • I understand you access ancestry from any Southwark library computer. Or see the real post office directories in archive. 
    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
