Last year, with the help of the 51st Scottish Brigade, Drummond Community High School was able to ship 5,500 books out to its partner schools in Kenya, writes school Librarian Annie Scanlon.
This year we have acquired sets of Maths textbooks, an animal encyclopaedia (thanks to Mansfield Place-based Waverley Care), and are currently collecting art materials to equip the Talent Club (Breaking news, 7.2.12).
A television, printer and curtains for the new girls dormitory are also going out. The shipment should leave at the end of March and arrive at Muthambi in August/September.
