Updated March 2013  Northborough children have just purchased another 61 bricks bringing the total to 552 bricks. Fantastic everyone. You'll soon have enough for a classroom.

Updated November 2012  Northborough children have now bought almost 500 bricks for the new Miche Bora Primary School. Almost half a classroom. Some children are still bringing in their pennies for the jar whilst others are buying bricks. It all makes such a difference everyone so keep up the good work.

Updated July 2012 The children have worked really hard this year raising money for Mustard Seed Project. They have collected pennies in jars, baked cakes and are now buying bricks for us to start building our new school.

The children have also written letters to the children at Miche Bora and received replies from very happy Kenyan children. It's an exciting thing for the children in both countries to learn quite how much they have in common.

Updated October 2011 John did a sponsored cycle ride round Rutland Water. He raised £20 for MSP. A big thank you to John

Updated July 2011 Northborough school have come up trumps again raising more than £200. They have continued to save pennies and twopences in a jar for Mustard Seed which is making a great difference to our children especially in light of the drought in Eastern Africa.

Thanks to a magnificent effort by Year 3 who had a cake sale their jar held almost £70. Thank you year 3. What a difference that will make.

Finally a special mention for Libby Cawsey in year 2. She brought in pennies almost every day and managed to raise over £9 by herself. Well done Libby.

Many Northborough children have been writing to the children at Miche Bora school and the trustees have been acting as couriers for the letters. The children love receiving the letter and it is great for them to know that children in the UK are interested in. They too are curious about the children in England.  Now Miche Bora has it's own address so that children can write to them directly at Miche Bora Primary School, PO Box 40731, Mombasa, Kenya.

Updated April 2011  Northborough School continue to generously support Mustard Seed Project. In the Spring term 2011 Year 5 raised £30 through a cake sale in school. Well done Year 5.

The school continue to collect 1p and 2p coins in a jar and managed to raise £94.79 during the term. Foundation again made a supreme effort and managed to raise £29.15 meaning that they look after the Mustard Seed Trophy for another term as well as receiving another certificate each.

The children in Miche Bora also greatly appreciate the letters they receive from several Northborough children.

Updated January 2011  Zoe Stott in Year 6 was recently sponsored to undertake a Fun Run for Mustard Seed Project. Zoe managed to raise £40 completely by her own effort. This makes a huge difference to our children. Well done Zoe and thank you so much for your efforts. They are greatly appreciated.

The children and staff at Northborough Primary School continue to actively support Mustard Seed Project and their school Miche Bora Primary School by collecting loose change in sweet jars.

Amazingly, in the autumn term children collected £183.53. Even more amazing is the fact that  it was Foundation who lead the way. Three weeks before the end of term there was a plea for a new sweet jar as the original jar had collapsed under the weight. In just 10 weeks the children had collected £58.33. This is a record amount which will make a huge difference to our children in Kenya.
