It’s an episode of House. It’s half a rugby game. It’s the time it takes to make a Jamie Oliver 30 minute meal if you don’t prepare the ingredients first. It’s also the length of a school lesson in Zambia. This is where you come in. We need you to devote 40 minutes to doing whatever you choose to help raise money for Simakakata Community School in Zambia. They’ve already made a start building it but they can’t afford the raw materials to continue. Why not try a sponsored bungee jump? Or sell lollies in a nightclub? You could even take it a step beyond and get sponsored to attend a meeting in drag! It can be absolutely anything you like, as long as it raises money for the school. We’re aiming to hit £52,000, which is how much it will cost to buy all the materials that are still needed. So have fun and challenge yourself! Your 40 minutes will change their lives, forever. We’ll even report back to you next year to prove it. Hope it helps, Best, Sophie By the way, I wrote this if it is of any use:
