Barn Owl Nursery reaches out to nurseries in Gambia
Mercedes Slade and Sophie Bedward – their inspiration raised more than £300 for the Trust
A message arrived via the African Oyster Trust website: “Hi, we are holding a Fun Day to support the African Oyster Trust at Barn Owl Day Nursery … how would you like to receive the proceeds?â€
We quickly contacted the nursery; how had this happened? The manager said, “We have two enthusiastic staff members who wanted to do something for a charity and they liked your website.â€Â Wow! They had trawled the net for suitable charities and ours came out tops! Â
Attending the event, we witnessed how much thought, planning and organisation had gone into the enterprise, with all sorts of activities for little ones, including hook a duck, tombola, hip-hop dancing, lots of scrummy things to eat and drink, and even exotic henna tattoos.
Â
So, we say “Bravo and a Big Thank You!†to all at the Barn Owl Day Nursery, especially Sophie and Mercedes. We will ensure that the £313.77 you raised will be spent on the sort of thing girls and boys need and enjoy most.
