<\/a>I went and visited my old school, Gisleham Middle School, where I did some work and also spoke to the year 7 (11\/12yr olds) pupils. They had been fundraising by making and selling cakes and gave me the proceeds with which to godparent 2 more children. Another event by the whole school raised so much money, that another donation was given for another child. So, a big thank you to GMS pupils. They seemed rather amazed that with their efforts of a few hours, 3 children would be able to have hot breakfasts and other benefits for the whole of this coming year. I think it\u2019s lovely, as well as an invaluable lesson, that this is for children that they have not even met and probably never will. On another day, I went to speak to the children of Newton Flotman Primary school, just south of Norwich. They have formed a penpal club and want to write to the children of Saxlingham St Mary\u2019s in Peru..another interesting connection. They asked me some really good questions \u2013 and William told me how to remember that the Andes is a range of mountains in Peru …\u201dit\u2019s the \u201cUndies\u201d miss\u201d…..I shall not now forget! The Rotarians of Diss provided a challenging set of questions \u2013 after first lulling me into a false sense of security with a lovely dinner \u2013 but I think they were happy with their answers and have promised to help. A retired accountant was also impressed and is auditing our accounts gratis….better and better. Then a dash to see the Rev Graham Steel, the Bishop of Norwich\u2019s minister who is co-ordinating the Lenten Appeal. So all in all, a manic but magical trip home….topped off with seeing my family again and being able to thank them for their unfailing support.<\/p>\n

By the way, although it\u2019s been a battle royal, we are nearly there with the Charity Commissioners….should I have said that? CRB checks are the latest obstacle which we are now awaiting. You\u2019ll know as soon as I know! Thank you to everyone and in addition, my various and long-suffering neighbours in Saxlingham, who lent me their car, brought me lunch, ran me here and there and let me use their email and telephone……where would I be without you all? Nowhere! Love Jill x<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
