Nepal
Having planned to draw the Nepal fundraising campaign to a close last week, we have now decided to continue to one more week. The simple reason is that funds continue to roll in. Generous donations were received during the PTG Flea Market last Sunday and Year 8 students are planning a final campaign next week. Currently we have VND 42,715,700 to send to contribute to the British School of Kathmandu’s support for rebuilding the disadvantaged communities of Nepal. Let’s see if we can make that a nice round VND 45,000,000.
