The end of the Alderley Edge School for Girls "Ship a Library" campaign is getting ever closer, with the shipping container due to be sent to the Mambrui Secondary School in Kenya in the next couple of days.
The school has collected approximately 3,000 books, educational games and toys since September 2010 which have now been boxed and loaded onto the shipping container that has been funded through the generosity of parents and the school.
Business Studies teacher Lynn Merry who has been leading the project spoke of her gratitude towards those who have donated items and volunteered their support.
"We have had excellent support from all of our girls, parents and staff but special thanks must go to Ian Francis, Managing Director at Abraclean Ltd who has supported the school with funding for the campaign in addition to logistics, and to Paul Fahey and his team at BiG Storage Handforth who provided free storage space for our collection items since October. We know how desperately the Mambrui School needs these items for their library and we will ensure we keep the local community informed about the school's progress throughout the year".
