Warlingham children take a walk for Africa charity
The children from Warlingham Park School took part in a sponsored walk last week to raise money for the ‘Pearl of Africa Children’s Choir’, a charity that builds homes and schools for orphaned and destitute children in Uganda. The whole school took part in the walk from Chelsham Common to The White Bear in Fickleshole and back again covering a distance of four miles.
WPS Headmaster, Mike Donald, commented. “We took the whole school on the walk to help them understand that many children in the remote areas of African countries walk this kind of distance as a daily occurrence either to collect clean water or to attend school. It was a great way for the children to learn a lesson as well as raise money for a worthy cause.”
