The sun shone, the gods smiled, and there was the most wonderful happy atmosphere at our fund-raising summer garden tea party on Sunday. Thanks to the generosity of friends, neighbours and family, we raised the almost unbelievable sum of £5,000, including over £2,000 on the lovely wine draw. It's almost enough to build 4 more classrooms (though I'm not sure that will be next); it would go a long way to funding a library; it would pay for several new school roofs or a lot of school furniture. I'll keep you posted on what we decide should be done next.
