Inner Wheel  District 26 - Overseas Service

School Aid  ... A pictorial story ... Donations made so far exceed  £10,000 in value.  [Mar 2004]

School-Aid is Inner Wheel's chosen charity this year. British Schools donate unwanted books and equipment which are then transported to Africa, courtesy of Capespan and Air Zimbabwe. Inner Wheel members have donated art and craft materials, as well as books, musical instruments and pre-school toys. These have a total value in excess of £10,000 so far.

With help from Inner Wheel, Rotary, Clancy/Docwra and other volunteers, the first shipment of the year was loaded into 36 pallets and into 40-ft lorry bound for Cape Town. Children in township schools near Cape Town and Johannesburg will soon benefit from their efforts. School-Aid's website is www.school-aid.org

One too many?

Here come some more!

This banding is tricky!

Got it!

Clancy / Docwra lent the fork lift truck and two operators. They have also donated a van.
