Twinning with Tanzania |
For the past 5 years the 6th class pupils in Creagh N.S. have been deeply involved in supporting primary school pupils in a particular district on the outskirts of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Each year the Creagh pupils organize a sponsored walk as part of their Confirmation programme and to date they have raised £17,000 for their Tanzanian friends. This money has been used to build two new classrooms in Mtakuja, build and furnish a new classroom in Pwani and, this year to furnish Mbopo School with over 100 new desks. Gifts, photographs and letters have been exchanged between both communities and a real spirit of friendship and appreciation of both cultures has evolved, during this time. It is hoped that this venture will continue and the bond between the Creagh & Tanzanian pupils will strengthen even more. |
