       Market Deeping Primary School

During the busy spring and summer terms of 2010 Market Deeping Primary School linked their support for The Mustard Seed Project with the 2010 World Cup and their Fair Trade and Enterprise activities. In May all of the children took part in an Enterprise Activity Event, which ran for two weeks. During this time the children were asked to think of different ways of raising small amounts of money during their morning break. Working with a group of friends they sold drinks, biscuits or cakes, designed a treasure map or ran a small competition or raffle. Throughout this event the emphasis was on the children working co-operatively, rather than on the amount they raised. As a result of their efforts the children raised a total of £247.

As the World Cup approached the children collaborated to put together a musical extravaganza featuring songs and dance inspired by Africa, called "Africa Rocks". The work of the Mustard Seed Project was brought to the attention of the audience at the start of the each performance and donations were invited. The children were delighted to have raised over £300 during their four performances. In addition to these big events, the children have also raised money through selling jewellery and healthy Fair Trade snacks at their school discos. They also donated the proceeds of their harvest festival in Autumn 2010 to the Mustard Seed Project which raised another £189.

Well done Market Deeping Primary and a big thank you from Mustard Seed Project. This money has made a great difference to our school in Kenya.
