It's wonderful for any fundraiser to see how their efforts have changed lives.And so it was a special day for Megan Irvine Mordaunt when she arrived at Happy House to see the classrooms that she paid for.
Megan embarked on a mission to help our secondary school build after visiting Happy House last summer and learning that we needed two new classrooms.A student at Cheltenham Ladies College, she swam 500 laps of her school pool over three days, smashing through her fundraising target of 7000 euros thanks to sponsorship from generous family and friends.
" I was inspired by the incredible work being done to give these children a better future.
"I go to The Cheltenham Ladies College where from the start of our academic career there is a great emphasis on helping those less fortunate through specific house or even school-wide projects which help raise money and awareness whilst perhaps also inspiring others to get involved in the cause."
Megan's donation enabled us to go ahead with Mama Sue's revised plan of building four new classrooms instead of the two we had originally planned thus providing additional space for study rooms which are now in use for specialist groups or subjects. The additional cost was met by those who supported our building appeal.
Mama Sue and Papa Dave are delighted to see Megan and to be able to thank her personally for her amazing effort.
