While we were in Sri Lanka the roof of our school was leaking terribly. When the rain comes it disrupts the children’s education as they have to leave and go home. This happens far too often.
We have obtained quotes to get the entire roof repaired and have been able to select a trusted contractor to undertake the work. The cost is £3,000/$4800 . We know that is a lot of money – but not an impossible target. The roof will keep the school dry and provide a decent learning environment. We would love to get the work completed during the December holidays. With a new roof and the grilles on the windows we commissioned in September we will have a dry and secure school. One which the teachers and pupils will be proud to attend each day.
Achieving this goal will be challenging - we know that - and that's why we're asking you to help us “Raise the Roof” in the run up to the holiday season. Rather than a JustGiving page, we'd love it if you could buy a tile and raise smile. You can choose how much or how little you want to donate for each tile and even leave a message for everyone to see and watch as the virtual roof is completed on the website.
We know that there are lots of charities to choose from and that you may have already been really generous to Friends of Della and Don in the past but this is a one-off fundraising drive which we hope you might support. Maybe a tile could be a holiday gift for a friend or relative?
If you’d like to help please donate online and give what you can. Hopefully the virtual roof will soon be available on our new-look website to coincide with the campaign.
Thank you all for your continued support.
