<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;">Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;">As you know, each year 12 students travel to our partner schools in Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Next year, </span>six Year 11 students will go to the Escola Secundaria Noroeste do 1, in Mozambique and six Year 12 students to Edendale school in Pretoria, South Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;">We undergo a very competitive application and interview process and, when selected, must raise all of the costs ourselves - £2,500 for South Africa and £2,600 for Mozambique. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;">When in the country, we teach lessons, help in the school and work with older students from the schools to prepare and run a Sports Festival in the local primary school.<br><br></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This year the undersigned have been selected as the 12 students to represent the school in Mozambique and South Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously, the price of the trip is very high for each of us to pay, and therefore fundraising for our trip is essential.<br><br></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In just three weeks’ time, beginning Friday 2 December, we have organised a 24-hour Spinathon (on static bikes) for us all to complete in aid of the trip. Like last year it will start at 5.00pm on the evening before the CVC Christmas Bazaar and we will pedal through the night to 5.00pm on Saturday 3 December. <br><br>The Spinathon is one of our main fundraisers this year and a lot of planning and organisation has gone into it from us as well as our parents and Miss Hawkes. It would be fantastic if we could have the support of any parents and students willing to sponsor us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any amount of money will make a big difference.<br><br></span></p>
