Tribal Group Foundation Proposed Sponsorship

While visiting Nottingham recently, I was privileged to have met Emily Ray, a Team Leader at Tribal Group UK Ltd . She updated me on the latest developments regarding our being nominated for funding and we had time to discuss the possibility of Tribal Foundation supporting a key project in the school other than electricity and/or water and sanitation.

It is our hope that we can be supported to put up a tuition block of 8 classrooms, an office, an ICT Room and toilets (at the moment we have inadequate sanitary facilities) and the number of children continues to grow at the school. The Foundation will reach a key decision regarding our being funded on 25th February 2009. Should we be successful, this will be a huge step in our endeavour to be a model school in the area and will enable us continue to take on more needy children each year as we will not be hampered by space.

I indicated to Emily that we could name our completed Tuition Block after Tribal Group Foundation and will do what we can to enhance our children's global awareness through enhanced ICT use.

We remain very grateful to Emily for her continued support and for sparing time to come down to Nottingham to meet me.
