From St Anthony's website:
Background to St Anthony's Nursery School - how it all began:
In August 2001 Gina Rose travelled to Malawi in Southern Africa as an Africa Venture volunteer teacher. She spent three months working in a boys and girls primary school in a small village.
On discovering a small nursery school was being run in the village, Gina made a life-changing decision.
Located in Southern Malawi, Chikhulupiriro Nursery School was established and run voluntarily by a local primary school teacher, Mr. Matope. It provided young Malawian children with an early start to their school life. There were 25 small children at the school and the main activities included reading, singing, dancing and learning English. Teaching took place in a small room behind Mr. Matope's house.
"Living in the same village as the nursery school for three months was a wonderful experience and it was a real joy to work with the children. I will never forget teaching the children how to hold a crayon and draw their first picture."
"It was on November 6th 2001 at the 'thank you' lunch hosted by Mr. Matope when I decided on my next goal in life - to raise the necessary funds to build a properly equipped nursery school for the children of Chilumpha village." Gina returned to England in late December 2001 and set about work on the nursery school project.

Debi and her support group raise additional funds for St Anthony's by making and selling handicrafts, cakes and much else besides. They often set up a stall at St Andrew's Church Centre during coffee time after the Sunday morning service. If you'd like more information or would like to be involved, please do email Debi.

​Message from: Gina

I have pleasure in attaching photos (see slideshow below) the staff have sent over showing all items they purchased recently.  You will see they have successfully purchased masks, hand sanitizer, buckets with taps for hand washing, hand washing bowls and the 2 blackboards for outside. They have also purchased all the ingredients for making porridge
for the children for the rest of the term!! 


Mains water supply and building shelters for cooking/eating outside are next on our list!

With love and thanks, Gina x
​It's amazing what a difference your donations make. 
​ Wouldn't it be great if we could raise the funds for the mains water supply and outside shelters?  If you can help - please contact Debi Knight
