Another wee update
On Friday, there was a parents’ information evening but there was also a wee social gathering beforehand. The group was very pleased to welcome Michael Matheson MSP as a special guest. Mr. Matheson has been very supportive in helping the group secure funding from local businesses.
As always, some piccies are in the gallery
Today (Saturday) saw us in the Howgate shopping centre rattling buckets and accosting unwary shoppers. Once again the Samba band were on hand to make some attention-grabbing noise and a very respectable total of around £630 was raised. Thank you to everyone who helped out and to those who contributed so generously.
Many of the other donations from businesses and other events have also been tallied and the total raised is just over £6000.

Comely Park Primary School very kindly offered us some space at their annual Spring Fayre. We were able to promote the trip, raise awareness of what the purpose is and to fundraise.
We had loads of folk helping out with silent auctions, lucky dips, cakes and other treats and quizzes.
You can check out some photos of the event. Click the photo to see some more.
Welcome!
This website is to record the Falkirk High School trip to Bandawe Girls’ Secondary School in Malawi in July 2008.
Here you’ll find information about the trip and the link between both schools, news about fundraising events, the thoughts and experiences of the pupils (and teachers) who are going on the trip. Last, but not least, there will be a photo record of the trip and the events in the runup to it.
Please drop in frequently or add our rss feed to your reader to keep up-to-date with all that’s happening.

URGENT MESSAGE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
If we’re to get the lower fares we need to pay flights in full immediately, so if you can pay whatever is needed to make a total of £700, please could you do it on Thursday? If you read this, pass it on to someone else in the group!!
