Little Stars Nursery School

Little Stars' nursery school should be able to open in a couple of months.  We intend to start work on the premises next week but will not open until all the paperwork is completed. 

In most Egyptian nursery schools there are up to 70 children in each class but we intend to go for quality not quantity and shall aim at 24 - 30 children who will come mainly from our sponsored families.  We hope to be able to teach the children to recognise and write their name as well as the basics of counting and the Arabic alphabet.  The school will not be religiously based and will not teach either the bible or the Koran.  There are other places for that.  Fingers crossed that all the paperwork is completed soon.  We have more than 175 children in our sponsored families but shall initially only take five year old children in the year before the could start school.

Joined Just Giving

Little Stars has joined the Just Giving fund raising group.  It is a site that allows people who have a fund raising idea such as a sponsored event to create their own fund raising page.  In the past, supporters have completed sponsored half marathons and bike rides in aid of Little Stars projects, now they can create their own Internet page and email it to their friends and family.  They can add photos and keep a blog of their training and progress while raising money for a good cause.

If you have a fund raising idea then please add it to the Little Stars page on Just Giving.  Thank you.

 Fund Raising for Vehicle

Back in the UK and back to fund raising.  Distributing food and items in Egypt is not easy but raising the funds to do it is even harder.  We can do nothing without our supporters.  Most of our funding comes from the United Kingdom where our Chairman and Honorary Treasurer will soon be attending a Fund-Raising Seminar to see if they can find ways to increase support.

There may be a deep recession throughout the world but Little Stars has been lucky.  We now have some of the money required to buy the vehicle Little Stars desperately needs.  The ideal vehicle would be a Toyota Double Cab.  We can get children on the backseat, helpers on the front seat and food parcels or wheelchairs on the back.  Fingers crossed that we will soon have the funds to buy one.

With you we can do so much.

Without you we can do nothing.
