Lent Lunch & Cueibet School Talk

Lent Community_news

Our Lent Appeal this year is to rebuild two classrooms at the primary school in Cueibet, Southern Sudan, with which our Benefice is linked.

Debby Underhill and her team of helpers provided an excellent soup and bread lunch at the Radnor Hall on Saturday 15 March. 

Sherwood Elcock has recently returned from a trip to Cueibet. He gave an illustrated talk on the current state of the primary school (which teaches ages 5-15 years). We saw before and after pictures of the weather-damaged classrooms, which earlier appeals have helped rebuild. This year, we hope to raise £10,900 to replace the remaining two classrooms and provide basic furniture and locks for the doors and windows.

The tickets and proceeds from the raffle raised £475, which is an excellent start to the Appeal.
