| Matale
Bucket Collection by Ginny Williams |
| The
Supporters Club held a bucket collection at the Harlequins match on
24th November in aid of Stockport schools' links with Matale, Sri
Lanka, hoping to raise enough money to ship out books, computers and
sports kits donated by local school children and pupils. |
|
|
Matale, a town
in the central province of Sri Lanka, recently established school-to-school
links with 8 schools throughout Stockport. During a visit there
in August, Stockport teachers were guests of honour at the opening
of an ICT training centre, established using computers donated by
Castle Hill School, Brinnington. Whilst Matale was not affected
directly by the 2004 tsunami, tourism in the country as a whole
dropped, and significantly in the areas around Matale district whose
infrastructure is still poor. Sri Lanka has 95% literacy but only
5% IT literacy, and there is a pressing need for school children
and adults alike to learn English and IT to improve job and life
prospects. The IT centre is seen as a vital first step in this process.

The Stockport schools involved are: All Saints Primary Marple, Marple
Hall High, St Georges Primary, Stockport College, Priestnall High,
Castle Hill Special School, and Cheadle Hulme High School. Dial Park
Primary has also donated a large number of books, as has Stockport
School's library service, and local schoolchildren collected English
reading books in an initiative entitled "One World, One Book"
launched during "One World Week". Stockport schools also
stand to gain from the links by improving citizenship skills as well
as knowledge of geography, religious cultures and history. |
|
Teachers and children from Castle Hill School and Marple Hall School
were at Edgeley Park on 14th December to collect the money raised
by generous supporters and the Club (the total was £966.10).
The cheque was presented to Sue Shore of Stockport Council's International
Liaison Office by Neil Hilton, Financial Controller at Sale Sharks
and Ginny Williams, Secretary of the SS Supporters Club.
