Tower's School
Staff and pupils at Tower’s School, Kent have raised an amazing £1641.25 for Africa Now over the last two years! Students have been working hard organising enterprise activities to raise money for enterprise opportunities in Africa, supporting more hard working farmers and producers in Africa to trade their way out of poverty. Enterprises included a brilliant Valentines Cake service where a staggering 200 cupcakes were not only baked, but also delivered to student’s friends and valentine sweethearts. Other fundraising activities have included a fashion show, balloon race and a brilliant beat-the-teacher arm wrestling competition.
The loyal support and hard work shown by staff and students at Tower's School is helping Africa Now to continue it's poverty reducing work in Africa. We really appreciate all the hard work everyone put in and would like to thank them for their wonderful support!
