The fund-raising goes on

A generous church
Trinity Church, Barrow, which we visited on June 12th, had a two-week retiring offering for Kasese Street Kids, and the result was the magnificent sum of £993.90. We are so grateful to those generous folk!
Primary Schools
We have also been encouraged by various village schools locally.
* Tebay School have given us a cheque for £74.75.
* Warcop School invited us to do an Assembly, and have promised some fund-raising.
* Orton School had their End of Term Summer Show last night, and took a retiring collection - half for school funds, and half for Kasese Street Kids.
Private Schools
We have invitations to visit some private schools next term - some definite dates, other provisional bookings; and donations are likely to result from these.


Photographic Exhibition

Plans for the Photographic Exhibition are proceeding - in the beautiful Holy Trinity Parish Church, Kendal, in October and November.

Invitations to the Guest Preview on 13th October, addressed by Margaret Sentamu, have been sent out to 80 head teachers of schools in south Cumbria; and a mailing list is being prepared of clergy, Rotary Club presidents, and various distinguished citizens of the county, who will also be invited - but those invitations won't go out till late August.


Carol Allen Storey, the photojournalist whose work is being featured, hopes to come, and has suggested another meeting, perhaps next day, in which she could speak about her work and experiences in Africa.

We would invite photgraphic and arts societies, journalists, and students doing photography or journalism.

It would all help to raise the profile of Kasese Street Kids.
