Dear Friends of Vana Trust
As children dear to me start back to school, I am thinking also of the Vana Trust children at St. David’s school who are also so close to my heart. As you buy school uniforms and supplies, you might also like to do the same for one of our children
Since 2004, Vana Trust has sponsored the education, provided uniforms and other supplies for children at St. David’s school in Zimbabwe affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty. We sponsor well over 100 children and the list keeps growing. We continue to support them when they leave St. David’s to go on to Sixth Form College and university. We are so proud of the exam results that the children have achieved. We also supply the school with many other necessities.
Also, the Vana Trust “breakfast club” gives over 500 children a daily hot meal. We are thrilled with the success of this venture. The children are more attentive, have gained weight and the breakfast has enticed absentee children back to school.
So please do think of donating to the Vana Trust project at St. David’s school. 100% of your donation will go to the school and here are some ideas of our projected costs.
• A year’s school fees for 1 child £10
• A uniform, shoes & school supplies £25
• A month of breakfasts for 1 child £15
• A month of breakfasts for 500 children £300
• A much needed new science lab £8000
You can donate directly at http://www.vanatrust.org.uk/. Or send a cheque payable to Vana Trust and post it to 11 Romola Road, London SE24 9BA.
Thank you so much for considering helping Vana Trust with this very worthwhile project at St. David’s School, Zimbabwe. We appreciate any help that you can give and your continued support.
And finally, I am attaching a letter from one of the Vana Trust children, Bright, with a heart warming account of his life and dreams for himself and St. David’s school. With your help we will do every thing we can to ensure that Bright can achieve his dream including sponsoring him through medical school. Children, like Bright, are the future.
With warm regards on behalf of everyone at Vana Trust
