November 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Mustard Seed Project were so excited to learn that the students at Dauntsey's School in Wiltshire have just voted for MSP to be their charity of the year.

Cycling to Paris for charity
April 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Simon Page has kindly agreed to put his body through hell for the Livingstone Tanzania Trust. He is spending months training for what will be a massive challenge. To cycle from London to Paris in just 24 hours. Most challenges like this take 3 days but simon wants to make it harder and more worthy of a donation. Call him crazy, call him what you like but he is going the extra mile to help us buy books for primary schools in Babati, northern Tanzania and we need and would love your support. Please click HERE to go through to his fund raising page. THANK YOU … [Read more...]

Running for Books
September 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Dear Friends Clive Shiret, one of our Trustees (53 years old) is running in the Berlin marathon on the 26th September 2010. He is running to raise money for a primary school whose lack of books is frightening. How can a young person get an education without text books? Sharing one book between 8 or 9 students is not getting an education. By sponsoring Clive and reaching our target of £4000 we can buy enough books to reduce that ration to 1 book per 3 students. whilst not perfect, it is so much better than what they do today. Every penny of your donation will go towards buying … [Read more...]

Well done Rita on receiving the Mary Stott Award for "accomplishing something exceptional" in 2009. We hope that it will inspire some of you. … [Read more...]

Ismat's 1st part account at climbing Kilimanjaro with Razan last July. What a fantastic achievement. By all accounts it was very tough.

Her blogs make a great read and we can't wait for the next instalments, including visiting the villagers of Ilongero and seeing the fruit of their pain in the shape of a brand new egg-incubator. … [Read more...]
