The pictures should have included a lot more of the MPFSC itself but somehow, in the process of storing photos on a hard drive, I managed to delete about 160 from this Summer's visit. Where they are I don't know.............. somewhere in the universe with all those lost text messages/SMS's and cheques that are in the post.
On the school front................ the £6,000 (US$12,000) that we raised through this year's sponsored walk will be sent to Kenya this week to benefit the Early Childhood Development and Primary School at the MPFSC. Shame that those that still owe almost a £1,000 have not paid up................... there is a word to describe such people! Furthermore there are an additonal 100 students who completed the walk but have failed to declare sponsorship and as such no money was submitted to the school.
Remember............... the idea behind the walk was to raise funds!!!! In order to achieve this aim the students had to complete the walk (10 miles) and raise as much money through sponsorship. In exchange the Headteacher gave the students the day off timetable in order to undertake the walk. Shame then that some students took the opportunity to have a day off but failed to complete their side of the bargain!!! Let's face it a lot of them needn't have bothered to walk the walk, they could have stayed at school and completed no work (business as usual for a lot of them!) and saved their energies for disrupting lessons instead!!
All that hardwork and a few have to do it their way. However, a lot did complete the walk and between those, that did make the effort, a considerable amount of money was raised.
It has already been proposed to undertake a walk in 2009 but sanction has to be obtained from the new Headteacher who takes up her post in January.
