To increase the children’s understanding of the charity we are supporting this year, we had a visit from David and Anne from World in Need headquarters to take a whole school assembly which coincided with our second Toast for WIN morning.
It was a very ‘hands on’ assembly and involved much interaction from the children making it really hit home just how lucky we are to have access to a range of food in our daily lives. Anne and David were very impressed with the range of questions that the children asked about the work they do, and were very grateful for our ongoing support, which will have a massive impact on the lives of the children they support.
After assembly it was time for toast and it was enlightening to learn that the amount we have raised in just two months (£65) is enough to support one child in one of the schools in which they work, to have food for an entire year!
World in Need (WIN) is a Christian charity whose mission is to feed the hungry and help the poor. They currently work in ten countries across the world including Kenya, The Philippines and India.
As a school, throughout the year we will be raising funds to support their feeding programme, which seeks to offer children a well-balanced and nutritional meal daily.
Each month, our Pupil Governors will hold a ‘Toast for WIN’ session where they will offer toast and jam to all children in school in return for a small donation. We suggest 50p, but anything from 10p to £1 would be fantastic.
Our next ‘Toast for WIN’ will be on Thursday 30th March.
