The life Mama Sue and Papa Dave have created for their family of 58 at the Happy House scored top marks for pupils at a Blackpool school yesterday.
Elizabeth Gomm was at Marton Primary School talking about the Happy House to Claire Docherty's enthusiastic class, when, at the end, one boy said: "I'd give 10 out of 10!". Another chirped up: "I'd give 1000 out of a 1000!"; the competition for highest score culminated with "infinity out of infinity!
The kids showed a real interest in how and why a children's home like the Happy House is needed and were touched, and shocked, by the stories of how some of our kids have come to us and of how hard life is for many families and children in Kenya.
They were so keen to ask questions that their teacher had to call a halt - the school day had come to an end without anyone noticing!
Thank you Marton Primary for being such a lovely audience.
Mrs Docherty is pictured with some of the children and a print of the painting which hangs in the Happy House which they will display in their class.
