Berkshire and six schools in the county are launching a project to help
provide a special meal at a school in South Africa 聳 which celebrates
10 years of democracy at the end of April.
听
Working with the 成人快手, Slough Grammar, Westgate Secondary,
Windsor Boys, Highdown Secondary, Blessed Hugh Farringdon Catholic School
in Southcote and Kendrick Girls School will each raise 拢100 to
help pay for a meal for 1,200 children at Nonhlevu Secondary in Kwa-Zulu
Natal.
听
The meal, which will be served at the secondary school
on 15 April, is being provided as a gesture of congratulations from
成人快手 Radio Berkshire and the six Berkshire schools to young adults celebrating
democracy.
听
成人快手 Radio Berkshire reporter Karnie Sharp will be in
South Africa to help get the project off the ground.
听
She says: "I'll be at the school, helping the staff
to get the meal ready for the children.
听
"We will have a guest speaker at the school, her
name is Dr Albertina Luthuli and she is a very dear friend of Nelson
Mandela. Her father was the first African to win
the Nobel Peace Prize in the Sixties.
听
"The whole day event will be covered on 成人快手 Radio
Berkshire."
听
The project will also involve the twinning of these
six Berkshire schools with Nonhlevu Secondary. This
will help to establish strong links both in the UK and South Africa.
听
Karnie Sharp says: "The idea behind the initiative
is to provide our youth with some insight into situations where children
in other countries attend school under difficult circumstances.
听
"It is usual for children there to go to school
without having a proper meal for days."
