A survey of peoples views in Northampton

Newsletter Winter 2006

Annie Lennox encouraged over one hundred children, including many from Northampton, to take an interest in Africa and participate in this year's Schools for Africa project. The project, set up by Sally Keeble MP, enables British school teachers to follow a programme of lessons on Africa with their pupils and then contribute in a practical way by sending gifts for orpahns and vulnerable children out to Africa.

Annie Lennox showed the school children how to pack boxes of gifts to be sent out to Kenya, Tanzania or Zimbabwe. They then had a chance to eat some lunch and have their photos taken with the star. Other people at the event included the High Commisioner from the Kenyan Embassy and representatives from the Tanzania Embassy. The International Development Minister also took part and spoke to the children about the kind of challenges that orphans in Africa commonly face.

The event was thoroughly enjoyed by pupils and teachers alike. To find out more about Schools for Africa click on this link.
