On the last day of each term, students may come to school in casual clothes only if they bring a gold coin donation.

Please note that students need to remember as they choose which clothes they would like to wear for casual day that they need to dress appropriately. Their clothes should cover their bodies in the same way that their uniform does and their shoes should be appropriate for running and playing.

The money raised this way is allocated to either a sister school project or to the sponsorship of a student through Asian Aid.

This term’s funds will be set aside for Asian Aid.

Let me share with you a summary of the note from the Asian Aid CEO included in their latest newsletter, Response:

Our focus is always on the children and how we can create ways not just to educate them but assist them to flourish in faith. Our holistic approach reaches beyond education to helping families and communities improve their health, happiness, and financial prospects with more options to grow.

That is why we are pleased to announce the re-commencement of our Women’s Health Project in Nepal in the later part of last year. A healthy mum helps create a happy child. We are also launching an additional water program at a new location which covers another of our Adventist schools.

We have expanded our community project that surrounds three of our sponsored children’s schools in Bangladesh. These programs will provide opportunities for parents to increase their household income through micro-business opportunities, improving health through growing vegetables, learning better farming techniques and having access to fresh water for drinking and irrigation.

This year we will also focus on resilience because resilient children can recover from setbacks and get back to living life. We would like to take this time to build on the resilience of the vulnerable children we support.

Moving forward, Asian Aid will continue to grow with your support which will allow us to create an enduring faith-based legacy that will Give Hope Today, tomorrow and into the future. We continue to keep eyes on the children, and now they are back at school, we are monitoring for any gaps where assistance may be needed to help them to catch up.

Prescott specifically sponsors Joshwa Satheeshkumar, a 10 year old student whom we have sponsored since he started school and a new sponsor child and Sumit Boarder who is completing Year 12 this year and would like to be a teacher when he completes his education.

We appreciate your continuing support of these precious students. If your family might like to sponsor your own child why not check out the Asian Aid website.

We also have a sponsorship container in the office, so if you have that extra change in your pocket, why not consider dropping it into that container.
