Project Compassion is nearly finished (February 14 - March 31st). Many thanks for the donations that are slowy coming in. However, we are far from the figure that we reached last year.

Thank you for the gold coin donations on Casual Compassion Day. All of this money will go to Caritas too.
If you can donate, or maybe your friends and family can donate, please use the QR code or the link to take you straight to the online platform for our school.
