Old Woollen Blazers from KEHS Find a new Home in Zimbabwe

Many thanks to Mrs Hodge, Secretary of the School PA, who has just informed us about some old woollen blazers which were sent to a small independent school in Zimbabwe. The school has 412 children from the Wildene area, most of them children from local farm workers. The Headmaster, Nartwell Chisunga, has been the headmaster for over 35 years. In addition there are nine teaching staff. The school is very basic with only three classrooms.

This came from the school itself:

“I am finally writing to thank you so very much for all the wonderful
donations that you made for Wildene School. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful the school is for all your kindness. The Blazers found very grateful homes with all the prefects wearing the small to medium ones and the teachers the larger sizes. They all looked so smart and so proud. In fact one of the teachers said they used to get teased for not looking smart enough and now they know there would be no more teasing!”
