What an amazing day ...!

I am sorry if you missed out on the craft sale - it was a brilliant day. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed in anyway to the craft sale to raise money for An African Dream - so many people made lovely and unusual crafts and cards, baked delicous cakes and biscuits, served refreshments, washed up and of course came and bought and also prayed! The whole house was beautifully laid out and a great deal of care had gone into the presentation of every item. There was a wonderful peaceful atmosphere throughout the day with around 150 -200 people coming to enjoy.

It was a great success and around £4000 was raised - an extraordinary amount - thank you to all who came and generously bought. :-)

Your support is hugely appreciated - two trustees are presently in Uganda and will no doubt return with fresh ideas as to how the money can be spent.

Exam season has arrived!

Today Primary 7 pupils at St Mark's will begin exams - we are hopeful that the good education that they have been receiving throughout the year will give them all a great opportunity for success.

The government school inspector will be visiting St Mark's School on Wed 11th November - we will keep you posted on the outcome of his visit

Two trustees of An African Dream will be visiting the work this month and following up developments and progress.
