It is good that you have come to visit this St Cuthbert's House Poverty for Poverty page. We, all of us, Sam Le Gassicke, Ralph Gilbey, Rupert Jones, Jack Moody, Fergus Marsden, Nicholas de Rivaz, Carlos Casta Anglada, Constantin Dwernicki, Billy Tumur and George Irven, representing each of the years in the House, welcome you to this page and thank you for coming here.

In Face-Faw's Poverty for Poverty, we are following the example of Geoffrey Clapham and Ollie Greaves who slept out in the snow in December 2008 as a witness to poverty.  Now in St Cuthbert's, we wish to help and share a little of the poverty of so many. We wish to support Face-Faw.

Through Face-Faw, we wish mainly to support something called the Amathuba Project in Natal, South Africa. In December 2007 a former parent of the school, Suzie Lyle [Suzie has since been very ill] came to St Cuthbert's House with a Zulu warrior and community leader, Robert Zuma, to tell us about the Amathuba Community Upliftment. 

The Amathuba Project is a grassroots project in Embo in the Valley of a Thousand Hills near Durban, KwaZulu in Natal, South Africa. Its aim is to bridge a gap between black and white, between rich and poor. It aims to build a model for sustainable development for impovershished communities that can be applied throughout Africa. Face-Faw is trying to sponsor a number of children in their schooling. St Cuthbert's invites sponsors to help.

We invite to sponsor us in a fast to help the people of the Amathuba Project.  We will fast on bread and water for one day, eat simple food. We will share a sense of poverty. We ask you for sponsorship, to help, to join with us in helping those in poverty. It is our attempt to share in poverty. Poverty for Poverty, to share with St Cuthbert's in our little gesture of hope.

If you help St Cuthbert's through Justgiving, it is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ampleforth Abbey/Face-Faw receives your gift asnd sponsorship 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 we invite you to help us.

Sam Le Gassicke, Ralph Gilbey, Rupert Jones, Jack Moody, Fergus Marsden, Nicholas de Rivaz, Carlos Casta Anglada, Constantin Dwernicki, Billy Tumur, George Irven and all the boys of St Cuthbert's House.
