ROTARY ENSURES THAT SHIP SAILS
Thornbury Rotarians have responded to a recent cry for help in the "Thornbury Gazette" with a £150 emergency grant/.
After students in Modern Foreign Culture at the Castle School visited Kenya last year, they have raised funds to purchase basic teaching and learning items desperately needed by the pupils and staff of the GilGil Township School.
At the last minute, they found that the cost of sending the equipment was far more than their funs could meet. On reading of their problem Thornbury Rotary Club immediately agreed to pay the transport costs.
President Richard Craddy said in presenting a cheque to Mrs. Alice Bentley for £150 “This is the sort of worthy cause that Rotary raises funds for . We were very pleased to be able to respond so quickly.
It is a happy coincidence that Thornbury Rotary also sponsored last year’s World Challenge teams”.
