In the charity's own words
We hold social events such as an International Evening, Quiz Night, and Christmas and Summer Fairs on the school grounds in order to raise funds and to bring parents, teachers, pupils and the community together. Funds raised are spent on improving facilities or providing culturally and educationally enriching opportunities that would otherwise be difficult to afford.
