Trent College’s Fund Raiser Lunch for Wheels 4 Life
(By Harry Freeman
Year 10)
On Wednesday 5th December 2007 Trent College had a special lunch to raise money for Wheels 4 Life. Our lunch was extremely basic compared to what we are used to, we had boiled rice and bananas. However for many third world countries this would be a feast.
The money that was saved (£750.00) by having this lunch will go towards Wheels 4 Life’s Tanzanian Villages Project; specifically the money we donate will go towards buying bicycles for the children of the Ugweno Valley. This will provide them with the transport they need to get them to school and back, in some cases a distance of up to 20 miles and in extreme heat. The only thing that is keeping them from an education is transport, we at Trent College are very happy to be solving this problem for them. It feels very good to know that we who have one of the best educations are making it possible for other children to receive an education too!

relief agency Samaritans Purse, with their Operation Christmas Child appeal, they collected 214 shoe boxes full of gifts, (more than any other school in Derbyshire) these will be distributed around the world to needy children, please click here to see some photographs of the event.
