Mvumi School Trust

The boys of Caldicott Prep School and their families chose Burnham Beeches in Buckinghamshire for this year's sponsored walk. So far over £1,500 have been raised.

This will be sufficient to pay for the education of two students at DCT Mvumi Secondary School through Forms I to IV. The boys will correspond with two students who receive the bursary awards and follow their progress.

Julian Raymond and son Paul have reached the top of Kilimanjaro.

Julian Raymond and son Paul celebrated Julian's 60th birthday by trekking up Mount Kilimanjaro and in doing so they have raised the magnificent sum of £7,900 (and rising!) for Mvumi Secondary School through sponsorship of their trek. The trek began on the 29th of March 2008 and they reached the summit on the 2nd of April - Julian's 60th birthday.

Last summer, Hugo Frith and Laura Buxton decided to do something different with their holidays.

Using the idea of combining a charity project and their mutual enjoyment of horse riding as a basis, they decided to raise money for African Schools by performing an extended endurance ride on their horses Basil and Drummer.

Hugo chose to raise money for the DCT Mvumi School in Tanzania, while his companion chose to fund a new library for a similar school in the Zambian copper belt.

The ride took place over a period of four nights and five days; completing at 8.00 pm on Friday evening, thus achieving their goal.

The route of their journey totalled over 100 miles in length, and took them through such places as Salisbury Plain and Cranborne Chase.
