Open Arms Infant home
- Malawi
The school is permanently sponsoring four very
young orphans at the Open Arms Infant Home in
Blantyre, Malawi, to be educated at Primary and
then Secondary school.
The website is www.openarmsmalawi.org
We have collection boxes in each
boarding house and fundraising efforts are made
by houses or other groups of pupils.
At the moment, it costs £1,500 per year
to ensure that the four children receive a private,
primary education and, to date, we have collected
approx. £750.
You may wish to send an amount into school and
if this is the case, please could you place it
in an envelope clearly marked "Open Arms
Infant Home Appeal".
We thought you might like to see the happy, smiling
faces of Wilson, Mary, Norman and Aubrey, who
we are supporting.
Update Sep 05
Term started today for the 4 children
who Royal Alexandra and Albert school are sponsoring.
This is a fantastic step for us.
Because of your support we have been able to choose
what would be considered one of Blantyre’s
best private schools, quaintly named Ladybird
International School. It is 1.3 kms from the house
that we have bought so is just about ideal. Thought
you might want to see the image taken this morning.
They were very lively in the Land Rover on the
way but very subdued by the time we left them
at the classroom door. They will be assessed this
morning to ascertain whether they should be in
reception or Standard 1. The fee structure at
MK20,000 including transport per term will come
to £1,000. They will be joined by a fifth
and then a sixth later in the year. Uniforms and
extras will be quite affordable.
For this our grateful thanks to
all at Gatton Park. We look forward to sending
you the school reports for these four!
Best regards
Neville and Rosemarie, Norman,
Wilson, Mary and Aubrey.
