Oakleigh House School pupils and staff were delighted to welcome members of Rotary International into school to deliver a special fundraising assembly. Rotary International works with and within their local communities to raise funds for a wide range of charitable causes and projects. This term Oakleigh House pupils have been collecting used backpacks for children to use in developing countries. Many school children in Africa and India are desperate for education and walk many miles every day to attend under funded schools. Oakleigh House pupils were excited to be given the opportunity to donate a used backpack, so it can aid the education of less advantaged children.
This project is still in its early stages and if you would like to get involved visit their website www.backpackmrc.co.uk
