Message from Gemma dated 30 November
2007: Highlights would be our St Jude’s Day where the children brought simple gifts in thanksgiving for their education. They then distributed the gifts to various orphanages and hospitals. We also had some wonderful visitors including another very helpful Rotary team. To access all the pictures and news simply click on the following link. October Newsletter Don’t forget to get your friends and family a St Jude’s 2008 calendar for Christmas! Just email me with your order and I will send you details. Thanks so much to everyone who has sent us all the positive feedback about them However if you look closely you will find a mistake or two in amongst all the pictures and trivia. If you are the first to email me with the mistake then we will send you a free calendar! Since we have to double our staff so that we can open our second school in January (such as finding 50 more teachers!!), we are in need of some extra admin staff to help in both schools. Remember that this new school is built on the land which over 700 wonderful people such as you, helped to pay for last year!! Very exciting progress! Anyway, if you would like to give a few years of your life to help us in running the schools, then have a look at our “Job Vacancies” section at our website. We are also in need of a full time primary PE teacher! Finally I hope you have a wonderful wind down to the end of 2006. Thanks again for your support!

Message 25 Sept 2007
The
Rotary Club of Parkwood has donated 1000 pairs of school socks to the
School of St. Jude, Tanzania. The club extends it's thanks to the
management of Queensland Hosiery Mill at Carrara, who not
only supplied the socks at a special price, but also donated 300 pairs
of almost perfect seconds sport socks. These will all be sent by
container from Brisbane next week, along with donated computers and
other goods which have been supplied by others for the school. Supply of
socks has been an ongoing problem at the school for years as there is no
factory in Tanzania supplying school socks. As Gemma said when I visited
the school recently "It has got to the stage where many of the children
have more hole than sock in their socks"
