Room 12-helping to make a change in Vanuatu......

Sophie Roberts' parents are travelling to Vanuatu at the end of this week. Their goal is to take a suitcase of school stationery and supplies into a village school. These schools don't have computers, sports equipment, or a library. Fees, books and uniforms are too expensive for families whose average income is less than $3000 US per year. Often only one child is able to go to high school. 
As a class Room 12 have made a coin trail and raised $45.00 towards the purchase of a bucket of Lego which could be enjoyed by children in one of the schools. We are hoping our contribution will help make a positive change in their lives and are looking forward to seeing photos and sharing updates of Mr and Mrs Roberts journey.
