Our school has reached a major milestone… with the first children finishing their primary education! These are the very first pupils that started with Child of Hope, when we ran a small nursery class from a borrowed church hall.

Today is the start of our Christmas Party Appeal 2015! Last year was a great success with kids and guests from the community having a fantastic time.
This year we want to do the same, so today we’re launching our advent joke appeal; each day we’ll be posting a corny Christmas cracker style joke or cartoon and we want you to share the post with your friends and loved ones — while at the same time clicking on the donate button! It costs just £4 to provide each Child of Hope child with a present, party food AND a new pair of shoes!
