'The School Run'

 on 3rd March 2014, Mr Betty and 5 of his friends are setting off to The Gambia, West Africa

they will be driving three vintage Land Rover ambulances loaded with school supplies, medical equipment and mosquito nets

you can read all about it here

it is all for nursery school children as the nursery schools are not funded by the government

the charity that "the SchoolRun' is working alongside fund the nursery school teachers wages

this enables the young children to get the best start in life

the raising of funds is all under way, Mr Betty has bought one of the Land Rovers as our donation to the cause

the Land Rover ambulances will enable the village in question to negotiate the ungraded roads in the area and will be used for hospital visits, school runs and other  essential journeys

so, with this in mind, I am asking for your crafty help

my concern is this

the kiddos will be getting much needed school stuff that will be invaluable 

they will also be receiving brand new footballs, all children need a football, but what about treats??

I want each of them to have a special treat 

do you reckon you could help us?

could you send a SMALL handmade gift that would suit a child?

I am thinking of sending a few of my critters over and also mini sewing kits

I am thinking that you lot create the most perfectly perfect treats too

if you fancy it then just pop the treat in a little envelope and send it to me

I will, of course, document everything received, and Mr Betty will

share all the progress over on his The School Run page
