Cows for Cambodia: Unwanted Recorders

Year 9 student Emily Hanel is currently fundraising for the “Cows for Cambodia” Charity. Emily will be travelling to Cambodia in April to carry out charity work. Part of her work will involve helping the school children with their lessons, particularly learning English.

Whilst helping the children, Emily also wishes to teach them some basics of music. Emily is hoping to take a number of recorders over with her and has asked if any families that have spare or unwanted recorders would like to drop them into the front office for Emily to collect.
