Charity market

Hi everyone!!

As you know, on Saturday we will celebrate our already traditional charity market! All the funds we raise will go directly to our twin school in Uganda, "Kumwenya", to help improve their school conditions and make sure children there receive a proper education.

How can you help?? You can:

- Buy some of the very cool new badges.
- Bake a cake to bring on Saturday, which will be sold together with hot chocolate for 1€.
- Donate things you have or buy that are in very good condition, to sell at the market (you only have until tomorrow to bring these)
- Buy a ticket for the raffle which will take place on Saturday. You may win a special dinner for two, a treatment at a hairdresser's and many other things.
- Sign up for the yoga class which will take place on Saturday. You don't need to book in advance.

And last but not least...

COME ON SATURDAY AND HAVE FUN! :)

Take a look at this video to find out how your fellow students at Kumwenya live and learn!!

MALALA

Hello everyone!

Two weeks ago we talked about Malala Yousafzai and her bravery to stand up for girls' right to education. To better know her incredible story, you can read her book:

Here you can watch the whole interview between Malala and Emma Watson on the presentation of the movie (sorry, but I couldn't find it subtitled):

And finally, here is part of the wonderful speech she made when she received the Nobel Peace Prize, when she was still only 16:

I hope this story inspires you as much as it has inspired me and most of all that it makes you see how immensely lucky you are that you can receive a proper education. :)
