Hi, My name is Dani Wilde,
Thank - you for visiting our fundraising page!
We are seeking as many donations as possible.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to donate money to help the children at County Primary School and Urban Primary School, in the slums of Embu in Kenya: Moving Mountains gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please contribute your donation now!
I started fundraising for County Primary School in Embu, Kenya in 2007 whilst I was completing my Music Degree.
Since then, helping this school and also commencing this year,Urban Primary School, has become a family project. In September 2008 and 2009, Myself, my Dad (Chris Wilde), my Mum, and my Brother 'Will' all visited the school together.
We really enjoyed seeing the children enjoy the benefits of the money we had raised: art materials, musical instruments, pens, paper, books, running water, footballs, and a basketball court.
During our time in Kenya we also organised a 'Fun-day' for County Primary School where the children had the opportunity to perform the songs that Will had taught them on Harmonica, as well as performing vocally, on recorders, and tribal dancing.
Fun-day included professional performers coming to the school to entertain the children: Gymnasts, Clowns, a DJ, and also bouncy castles and trampolines were hired for the children to play on. At lunch time on fun-day each of the 900 children at the school was given a meal with some fruit and a fizzy drink. Both Funday 2008 and 2009 were an experience my family and the children will never forget and we hope to do this again 2010.
Despite enjoying our time in the country, it was also a very upsetting experience. We got to see first hand the slums where these children live and the awful standard of living they have to endure. School is the highlight of their week and a good education is their only chance of making a better life for themselves. This is why we really need and appreciate your help.
We will ensure evey penny donated is put to maximum use to help improve conditions at the schools benefit the lives of the children.
We really appreciate your generosity!
All our love,
Dani Wilde, Chris Wilde, Jan Wilde and Will Wilde.
