Namibia Bound 2016
Mr B Emment
At 9pm on the 19th July 2016 five students from Heritage will start their
adventure to Namibia in Africa.
Aaron Chambers-Smith, Lauren Sabin, Lewis Salter, Patrick Wilson and
Tameika Roberts have a great deal of work to do fundraising before they
leave. The Namibia Bound Team need to raise £9000.
They have all worked hard in the Summer
holidays giving up their own time selling
at Fetes, car boots, hosting events and
washing cars. Many thanks to Lucy
McGregor who is supporting us and first
reserve to go should anything happen to
one of our Team.
Now the hard work really begins and they need your help. This is a massive undertaking and they will
be organising bake and sweet sales, a non-uniform day as well as sponsored events, discos and shows
for you to show your support.
The Team will be one of six schools each taking five students to Namibia,
they will be going on a training camp in April and once they get to
Africa they will help out at a school for a week and then they trek across
the Namib desert for 4 days. Their accommodation will be in tents and
facilities will be pretty basic but they are all looking forward to this visit
of a lifetime. The organisers from the British Exploring Society are keen to
encourage the sense of adventure from our students.
If you think you can help our fundraising efforts by way of sponsorship, please contact any of the
Namibia Bound Team or Mr Emment at school.
Watch out for our notices in school.
