Haiti Earthquake Appeal

Rotary Club Help for Haiti

On Friday 22nd January Bournville School & Sixth Form Centre held a non-uniform day in support of the Rotary Club of Birmingham’s appeal for aid for Haiti, specifically in purchasing Shelter Boxes.

Throughout the week students at the school experienced assemblies focused on widening their world knowledge and emotional response to such disasters by learning about the current situation in Haiti, and the devastation in the aftermath of the earthquake.

All assemblies were led by staff member Mr Azore, a native Haitian, who shared his personal experience, making a significant contribution to developing students’ appreciation of world issues.

On Friday, Year 8 students were lucky enough to also have Mr Stuart Guy, from the Rotary Club of Birmingham, explaining in detail the essential role of Shelter Boxes in keeping together families who have been affected by the earthquake. So far the school has raised a total of £1,500 for the charity.
