On October 22nd all the caring and fabulous 5th class girls brought in beautiful cakes and buns for a cake sale that raised over 500 euro for an amazing cause..... The Ethiopian Deaf Project!
We were really interested in this project because Miriam a very generous and kind lady came in to tell us all about the project. She told us that the people in the Ethiopian Deaf Project that she raises money for really needed solar lights because it gets very dark very early in Ethiopia , the people live in one roomed huts and they cannot sign or lip read to each other in the dark. This can make them feel very lonely and isolated.
We really felt that we could help so we set about organising a cake sale in our school. It was a huge success and we were so happy to hand Miriam over the funds we raised. She brought the money to Ethiopia the very next day and the solar lights were bought! They couldn't have been happier and we felt the same!! Miriam brought us back gifts from the people there.....two beautiful handmade drums, some fabulous photos and the Ethiopian flag. If you would like to see these for yourself you can see them in our display at the reception area in our school!!!
