The S5 India Team, who are going to do voluntary work in Tamil Nadu in summer 2014, are doing very well in raising the money for going to India in June, although they have a considerable amount of money still to raise. So far the current total raised is £1,500, which was achieved by hosting events such as a car wash, quiz nights and selling cupcakes every Friday at break. Individuals are also participating in fundraising by hosting their own events and getting many people to attend. The young people have written to local business and already got positive feedback and support. In the next four months they plan to host more events and raise even more money, such as a carwash on Tuesday 18th February, a ceilidh on the 25th February, a Race Day in David Lloyds on the 25th February, selling cakes at S2 and S3 Parents Evenings and a Coffee Morning on the 25th March. The India Team is preparing for the trip by being trained in a paper-making (to help children build a sustainable business), English and construction (bricks). The team are working very hard to achieve their goals, but would gladly welcome any raffle prizes, sponsorship or support from their local community and will have updates of their progress and upcoming fundraising events. If you can help in any way with the fundraising effort, please contact Ms Grundy or Miss Smith at Monifieth High School on 01382 536700.
