Exiciting new project. We are organising a presentation of shoes for a large amount of schools. This will cover a huge area and we are hoping to cover schools from all over southern galle with shoes for so many of the poorest and the most acedemic children in each school. This will bring all the poorer schools together and will be quite a huge event.
I am aiming for 500 students, it would be a fantastic achiement, with a few logistical problems. Ie most teachers do not own cars. This together with our commitment for the other schools we support will see us hopefully purchase 1000 Pairs of shoes and socks in Feb 2009.
Should any one wish to donate, £5 will purchase shoes, socks, and cover the cost of food transport and hall hire. £100 will pay for all twenty children from one school. It is then the idea to have banners on each bus with the sponsors name.
We have now run this charity very sucessfully for over three years and have paid all running costs ourselfs, down to the last stamp. However, from approx December 2009 we will be registering as a charitable trust.
The extra costs involved will be covered by “gift aid” and hopefully we will then be able to spend more than 100%.
Our main aim will always be to simply spend every penny you donate on our projects. This way the charity will receive a higher status and we will continue to spend 100% of all money collected on our projects.
