Annette & Sharon are fundraising to help Katiyo Primary School in Zimbabwe. Covid means that the usual Christmas raffle can’t go ahead this year so instead they have launched an online appeal. All the money raised will go to Katiyo Primary School where it is hoped they will be able to build a nursery classroom. Just £1 pays for 50 bricks, £8 buys a 50kg bag of cement so every penny helps: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/katiyochristmasappeal
