Sunrise of Africa School 

Earlier this week we received this lovely email from Robin Clarke (Australian Representative for Sunrise of Africa School):

“We were thrilled to receive the generous donation from you all and it will make a huge difference at Sunrise of Africa School. As you probably know, the school has been building a dining hall for the students. This will make an incredible difference as all the children and staff are given a most welcome hot and nutritious meal in the middle of the day. Many students do not have food security in their homes. This dining hall will replace a small tin shed that has been used for some years as the kitchen. 

Previously, the students ate outside in all weathers. Imagine their excitement to have an actual dining hall! It will certainly raise morale and strengthen their sense of community. In addition, the new building has a stage at one end so they will be able to have better assemblies and plays once it is completed. There are many, many students who are talented singers, dancers and actors. 

Parents are always thrilled to see them perform. I know how hard you must have worked to raise $1845.23, and I want you to know that it is most appreciated by every single student and staff member in the Kenyan school. Your kindness will not be forgotten.

And from Mr Houghton:

“So wonderful to see the impact Huntingtower can have. A fine example of being true to our Mission to be a beneficial presence in the world. Well done Rayner!”

Thank you to everyone who chipped in with our fundraiser. We look forward to raising the bar even further next year. 

Mr Rodney Jones

Head of Rayner House
