Big Give Target Reached

A big THANK YOU for all donations.

We received 39 donations amounting to £4,494.
With matched funding and Gift Aid that amounts to a total of
£9,837.

This means that 38 librarians will be fully funded and also trained, headteachers will be trained in best practice for their libraries and we will have some money left over to buy around 300 books for our libraries which are either least resourced or lending the most books.

More than 30 people attended the AGM on Saturday 15 June in Exeter.  They were treated to a wonderful Ethiopian buffet generously donated by Hirut Von Lamy and provided by Ethiopian caterer, Atsede Gidey. 

Congratulations to our Secretary,
Dawn Swettenham, for completing
the Chester Half-Marathon on 19th May.

More than £800 raised so far (before doubling and Gift Aid), all of which will go towards providing school textbooks in Nekemte, Ethiopia.
