St Thomas’ School provides essential education to all children in the village regardless of their ability to pay. It is an insoirational place where the staff are so committed to help poor children that they accept low salaries and the principal works for free. I visted the school last November and saw for myself the impact the school has in the community. The group of us who visited have committed to raisinf enough money for them to buy a mini-bus.

To do my bit, I,m walking the Cumbria Way (70 miles) beginning on 23 July. Please do pledge whatever you can so we can support the school.
