Please support us in St Edward's-Wilfrid's House and sponsor us.

We are supporting Face-Faw and ask for sponsorship. Face-Faw is essentially us, the students of Ampleforth, our concern to share in the struggles of those in need. We write to ask you to share in our concern.

 We are supporting Face-Faw and ask for sponsorship.

Face-Faw has a number of aims.  We may help any of these aims or works of Face-Faw. But I mention three in particular, in Zanzibar, Romania and Ethiopia

 First, in Zanzibar Face-Faw supports the Francis Maria Libermann School, a school of the Diocese of Zanzibar, off the Est coast of Tanzania. Face-Faw sponsors 25 children, it has provided £2,000 of exercise books and £1,000 of pencils. At this moment two recent leavers, Camilla du Boulay and Emily Leeming, are helping in the the Francis Maria Libermann School in Zanzibar, and have sent some enthusiastic emails in recent days. 

Second, Face-Faw supports orphans in Romania.  The plight of orphans remains very serious in Romania, but much is being done. Two recent Amplefordians, Peter Sidgwick (C97) and Dominic McCann (O02) have been involved in creating charities to help, and we try to help them. Several leavers of 2007 helped there.

Thirdly, Face-Faw supports a school and the work of the nuns of the Missionary of Charity [nuns of Mother Theresa] helping the poor and dying in Ethiopia.  Over the past 9 months about 10 Amplefordians have helped here, and at this time about four more arer planning to go there to help in the coming weeks.

Please help us.

In order to help, Face-Faw have planned Honour the 600.  Honour the 600 is on 21 February 2008 - the whole school will read on the theme of honour for 10 hours or 600 minutes.  Each House will read for 60 minutes.  We will celebrate honour in literature for 600 minutes and St Edward's-Wilfrid's will be responsible for 60 minutes of these 600 minutes. Honour the 600.  

We ask you to sponsor us in St Edward's-Wilfrid's House [Each House has a sponsorship page]. 

By using this site, you ensure support. It is totally secure and simple. Through Ampleforth Abbey, Face-Faw will receive this funds very fast. If you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your sponsorship at no cost to you.

Please help us in St Edward's-Wilfrid's to help Face-Faw - and to help people in need in Romania, Zanzibar and Ethiopia.
