During our Summer UK visit we were able to share with the two year 3 classes and a year 5 class at St Margaret's C. of E. Primary school . The children at St Margaret's noticed many differences between their own lives and those of the children at Hoay Maw.
A particular need that we highlighted was to provide mosquito nets to cover the bed of each child.
It was a blessing that the year 3 teachers and children wanted to help in some way and decided to contribute money towards the mosquito nets instead of the customary end of year gifts.
£65 was donated and together with £50 raised at a coffee morning by some friends and supporters in Cirencester, every child now has their own mosquito net over their bed.

This is extremely important for the children as Malaria and Dengue warnings have been issued in the region. These are serious illnesses transmitted by mosquitoes. When the children are asleep, they are very vulnerable to being bitten.
On Weds 27th Aug, the Olivers visited Hoay Maw and were able to see the newly installed colourful mosquito nets.
Thank you St Margaret's year 3 and our friends in Cirencester for this gift to the children at Hoay Maw.
