Hi everyone,

Thank you so very very much for your help, it has been such a great success and I am so happy that we hit the target, not only do I get to keep the hair but we can also get started on the boreholes.

Providing clean water for the school

and local community

The lack of a clean water supply is a real issue that

impacts on the lives of the school pupils and the local

community; we have decided to support the drilling of

two new bore holes: the first for the school, and the

second for the local community.

This is because with over 500 children, the school itself

warrants its own borehole; and if there was no other

provision for another village borehole in the local

community this would mean that the school borehole

would be overburdened. In addition, there is a very

serious lack of clean water supply in the village of Musoto

where about 5,000 people live impoverished lives.

Harpenden Spotlight on Africa is aiming to raise

additional money for the community borehole, and have

already been focusing our fundraising efforts through

sponsored events, our Ball in October and stalls at the

carnival and recent Highland Gathering.

So again, many thanks to every one and I appreciate all the donations still coming in after the deadline.

I will keep yopu all posted on the progress of the projects.

Lots of Love

Connie
