Mvumi School Trust

• Preparations for our first intake of visually impaired students in January are going really well. We are pioneers in secondary education of this kind and aim to consolidate the wonderful work of Buigiri Primary School, from which our students will come.
• The minibus, underwritten by donations, has transformed life for students and staff, making sports fixtures and educational trips so much easier. A recent visit was to the National Parliament in Dodoma and Ngorogoro Crater is on the cards.

We are delighted to receive funding from Hong Kong to purchase a satellite dish and television so that DCT Mvumi Secondary School can access news and educational material from world-wide sources. The donor is Sandra d'Auriol, a Hong Kong based jewellery designer who donates the proceeds of her business to children and environmental causes. Many thanks, Sandra!

Mvumi Secondary School is an Anglican church school in the Diocese of Central Tanganyika. The inspirational bishop of the diocese, Mdimi Mhogolo, will be visiting the United Kingdom for the Lambeth Conference and will be coming to Eton on the 7th August 2008. If you are a Friend of the School and would like to take this opportunity to meet Bishop Mhogolo, please contact Roderick Watson by filling in the form on his contact page.

Congratulations to Sean Lambert on his fund raising Reading half marathon for Mvumi. Sean raised £561! He is a Classics master at Eton College and is deputy to the House Master in John Clark's former Boys' House, Timbralls, now run by John's successor, Andrew Robinson (they were best house in the the recent Mvumi swimathon). Sean is seen here in the School Yard with his dog called Sparky.
