Junior School girls at Streatham & Clapham High School (SCHS) were in seasonal spirit, enjoying their Advent Fair and collecting Christmas shoe boxes full of exciting and useful gifts for children living in the slums of Manila in the Philippines. Sister Paola of the FJC Learning and Development Centre in Mandanao distributes these to the children, some of whom are as young as four when they go to work searching among the rubbish-dump mountains for plastic to sell to help their families to survive. SCHS parent group, FOSACH, is generously paying the shipment costs.
