We have been delighted to welcome Fr. Peter into our school and parish family. He has made such an impact upon us all with his kind and caring manner and his willingness to visit and get to know our children. Fr. Peter told us many interesting stories about the country where he was born, Myanmar, and also stories about the many struggles that families and children have there. In discussion with Fr. Peter we thought about what we as a school could do to help children back in his country. Our Prayer Leaders had a meeting back in February and decided that they would like to sell biscuits each week to raise money for the children of Myanmar- a project they have named Children2Children. Our school kitchen, each week has baked delicious biscuits which parents have bought each Friday at the end of the school day. So far we have raised over £300 for the children of Myanmar, Fr Peter is delighted and told us that £300 is more than most adults would earn in 1 year in Myanmar . We are very proud of our children for taking a leading role in the organisation of the fundraising for this wonderful cause- it really is a brilliant example of Catholic Social Teaching in action. A huge thank you to all within our community who continue to support this fundraiser and to our cooks who make the biscuits each week.
