Lent giving for tsunami survivors
Children at Toothill’s Oliver Tomkins Church of England Primary School have decided their Lent appeal promises should be donated to victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
During a week of fundraising in March they took part in odd sock and inside out fundraising days and wet sponge throws which raised £448 for earthquake relief.
On 18 March a monster mask day raised a further £102 for Comic Relief, pictured.
Appeal coordinator Sue MacDonald said, “the terrible scenes from Japan that pupils have witnessed moved them immensely and they spontaneously asked for all their Lent fundraising to be sent to help people who have been left with nothing. The £550 raised in one week has been amazing given the difficult times many families face.”
