The ALG
Challenges are a fantastic opportunity for you to pick a special occasion
and raise funds yourself on behalf of our children. The Instituto Camões UK
spread the word to associated schools and institutes throughout the country
- W. Morris School, IE Canada Blanch, R
Atkins Primary School, the Watford Portuguese Ass,
Hillside Junior School, Hounslow School and St. Paul´s C of E PS -
and what a fantastic result! £4'503 raised VIA bake sales and small
campaigns led by encouraging teachers and enthusiastic students.
On a sunny
afternoon on the 8th of June, Ms Lumen Rodrigues and students from
Hillside School, Northwood gathered excitedly to raise funds for
the children of Mozambique, in support of ALG. The bake sale was
championed by 2nd, 3rd and high school students enrolled in
Portuguese classes at the school, supported by all the parents and the Portuguese
community around Hillside. Their effort had the full support of Hillside
School's Faculty and PTA. Everyone was so generous! There were sweet and
savoury snacks for sale, drink stands, football matches, shoot outs and kick
ups, nursery games, face, nail and henna painting, raffle boxes and other
games. A whooping £1'246 were raised on a single day, enough to support
After-class centres in SVP and SLM schools in Mozambique for half a year!
YOU CAN ALSO TAKE AN ALG CHALLENGE!
Organise an ALG solidarity tea for family, friends or colleagues and
ask them to contribute with a donation to your cause. Run a
marathon (full, half or mini) or go on a mountain bike race, alone or with
family and friends. Celebrate a special occasion like a christening with
your solidarity campaign and share a bit of your happiness with others.
