Over the past few months bags of clothing, shoes and bedding have been sent to Glodeni Orphanage in Turgu Mures, Romania in conjunction with a charity, Bags Of Support,to help the forty children and five staff who live there. A huge food parcel was sent in March.

Throughout November, the pupils from the school have brought in donations of pencils, pencil cases, paper, pens and school bags which will be taken to the orphanage for Christmas.

She said: “This fantastic donation will really be welcomed by the children at the orphanage and make Christmas 2013 such a special time for them.”
