A Huge Thank You to
Lipson Vale Primary School, Plymouth |
| |
|
The Children and staff
of Lipson Vale Primary School have been
supporting Leaves of Hope for over 3
years now. They have raised funds
through school raffles held at Easter
and Christmas each year. They have
already raised over £1000. |
|
|
|
The money raised has
mainly helped the children at Zhordina
Orphanage near Minsk in Belarus where
over 80 children aged from 3 to 6 years
live. It has bought Christmas presents
and paid for Christmas parties for the
Children. Last year the money helped to
buy all the equipment needed to run a
summer play scheme for the children -
which was a great success. The play
scheme will be running again in July
2009 and already Lipson Vale has raised
enough money to buy the equipment for
this year. |

supporting Leaves of Hope
through Mrs Val Burt, who works
at the school. Val is the sister

In addition to supporting Lipson
Vales' fundraising efforts Val

herself in the past 5 years by
selling Russian crafts and
jewellery to friends and
colleagues. The money raised by
Val has supported the charity’s
work in refurbishing the
orphanage.
