Bebside School & the African Workshop
Two bits of great news this week: First, the African Workshop is now a fully registered UK charity (number 1137427). And the second is a lovely bit of news coverage.
The charity number will open opportunities to grow the project and help more kids get creative in Mali. It’s also a great milestone for the AW, something we have been building towards for a while.
Now the next phase kicks in! it’s time to really push on with fundraising events and plans for a new, larger, better equipped centre in Bamako. Get in touch if you’d like to help – email ben@africanworkshop.org
And in other news… the story of the school shipment making its way to Bamako from Northumberland has been picked up by London’s Metro newspaper plus regional press and radio.
The response has been really positive and there is a lot of interest in more articles once the donation arrives.
The shipment is due to arrive mid-September so I’ll be there to document it and distribute it. Fingers crossed for some good media attention when I’m back in the UK.
Thanks for all your support and amazing help – next stop the Towersey Village Festival!
