Pencil Appeal for Refugee Children
A huge amount of pencils and activity sets were donated to send to Dunkirk
We received this email acknowledging receipt of the boxes and suggesting that some of our pencils could go further afield to Nepal:-
Hi Jan
I was in the ITL office this week sorting through the pencils we have received for Phil Beadle to take to France and I saw two lovely boxes from Spalding Primary School so, checking our database, we came up with your name as behind it.
So, firstly, a massive thank you to you and all the children involved.
Secondly, will it be OK if I take some of the pencils etc to a school in Nepal next week? The reason I thought it would be appropriate is that I have been asked to go there by a Lincolnshire-based charity called Lincs2Nepal - http://www.lincs2nepal.org/. I can also ask Garry who runs the charity if he would perhaps come and give a talk about his work to your children. It is inspiring, powerful and humbling stuff, especially when he talks about how he got on a plane within 48 hours of hearing about last year's awful earthquake there.
Let me know what you think and, in the meantime, many thanks again.
