I decided to support Feb Free because there are many kids in this world that have grown up without the educational and life opportunities that we take for granted.
For me, Feb Free is about bringing education to those kids, to give them some of the opportunity as others in the world. With a bit of luck - and some support from the public - I’d like to raise money for these kids to give them a chance, which every kid deserves!
I have decided to go without my mother’s homemade desserts which is a really hard thing for me to give up! I'm not around much during the year and I really enjoy eating my mum’s apple crumble when I’m home. Sometimes I eat it for breakfast as well because I know the other kids in the house would have eaten it by lunch! This will be a challenge!
thanks everyone!
The School of St Jude (Global Development Group - J582)
The School of St Jude is a Global Development Group (GDG) supported aid and development project (J582) based in Arusha, Tanzania, Africa. The School of St Jude commenced in 2002 with just one teacher, three students and a bold vision to educate the future leaders of Tanzania. Today, on a day to day basis, St Jude's continues to positively impact the lives of almost 1600 students, 400 Tanzanian teachers and staff and the wider Tanzanian community.
St Jude's offers a free, high quality education to children from the poorest of the poor families in the area. Without St Jude's these children would struggle to escape the spiral of poverty into which they were born. The vision of the project is to be an exemplary, modern and self-sustainable institution that effects a paradigm shift on the educational system in Tanzania by enabling Tanzanians to run successful and moral schools, thereby alleviating poverty and breaking the cycle of dependency on external aid. We celebrate the thousands of people who have caught the vision and demonstrated their care and compassion by sharing their time, their talents and their funds to help bring St Judes this far. Together, our St Jude's family will continue to make a difference.
