Thank you for coming to this St John's Poverty for Poverty page. We, Tom Stott, Lucas Domecq, Hugh Ronan, Alexandre de Chezelles, Walter Arbuthnott, William Klein, Florian de Chezelles and James Cochrane and Nicholas Blackmore are representing all the years in St John's, and all the boys of St John's, ask  for your sponsorship of St John's House, supporting Face-Faw Poverty for Poverty.

Through Face-Faw, St John's House are supporting Francis Maria Libermann School in Zanzibar, and helping to sponsor some of the students in the school. Ampleforth has a very strong link with this school.

Inorder to help and share in poverty, all of us in St. John's House plan to run each morning before morning prayers for a week in late April 2009 (still fixing the date)as a sign of showing poverty (not many poor people may run around in gardens like this but this is us making a sign of our sharing poverty). In addition we have held a number of House events to support our Pverty for Poverty - Toshi Ogita held a homemade pottery sale in the House, and we had a House Dinner.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor Ampleforth Abbey/Face-Faw - Face-Faw will receive your sponsprship fast.  If you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation to Face-Faw.

So please sponsor us in St John's, supporting Face-Faw 

Tom Stott, Lucas Domecq, Hugh Ronan, Alexandre de Chezelles, Walter Arbuthnott, William Klein, Florian de Chezelles, James Cochrane and Nicholas Blackmore.
