Most of the children attending this school come from desperately poor families, who have a very poor quality of life.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Please help by sponsoring me on my Ben Nevis Climb, and help me to raise the much needed &pound;3,000 to dig this well so that the children will have clean filtered drinking water in their school. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I did this on behalf of a charity registered in the UK and the Gambia, The Gambian Schools Project and they will see that every penny that you give goes directly for this project, <br>their web site is </span><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><a href="http://www.gambianschoolsproject.org/"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: blue;">www.gambianschoolsproject.org</span></a></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">You can read more about the Mason Nursery School in Bafuloto and see a video of me with the children at the school in the Gambia by going to my web site at </span><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><a href="http://www.katyroberts.co.uk/"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: blue;">www.katyroberts.co.uk</span></a></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Thank you, and please open your hearts and make the lives of these lovely little ones better, together we can make this happen.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Love</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Katy x</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
