Day 5

Annual gathering for our sponsor children and families

Naomi Booth :: Tuesday 29th October 2024 :: This Story

Today was our annual gathering for our sponsor children and families and as always it was a successful and happy evening. Our 65 sponsor children and their parents look forward every year to meeting the students from Calthorpe Park School and spending an evening doing fun activities. For our sponsor children it is the one occasion in the year when they get to go out for an evening to a social event and have fun.

The students from Calthorpe Park School Ocean Stars Team 2024 have spent the last 18 months preparing for this event. Lots of art work, colouring in, mask making, scratch art, collage work, games and hat making were offered to the sponsor children who participated with great enthusiasm. The final activity was all the  Sri Lankan students and UK students dancing together. A total of 170 people attended our Sponsor evening. We shared a meal, the sponsored children received gifts and then went home. They are already looking forward to the 2025 gathering!!

Thank you to everyone involved in organising this unique event, especially our Sponsorship Manager , Danushika..
