YOUNGSTERS at Haugh of Urr Playgroup have been sponsoring a child the same age as them in Malawi.

Today the youngsters will send off their latest parcel to little Fanne Mukuchiwiri, 4, as part of a sponsorship programme.

The playgroup also raised funds so she can receive food from the Porridge Programme, which is ran by the Abbas Rest Orphanage in Fanne’s village.

Before Christmas, the kids at the playgroup raised £46 towards the fund.

And pictures and toys made by the youngsters will be sent to Fanne in the parcel.

The kids sponsor the youngster through the council’s Determined to Succeed Enterprise and Education Funding Award.

Susan Bagnall, head playgroup leader, said: “It has been great. The children have been enjoying learning about Africa.

“Next week we are taking them down to the pond to collect water and carry it back to the nursery, so they can see what people in Africa need to do on a daily basis.”

The playgroup will be holding an enrolment open session on Friday, February 12, between 1pm and 3pm.
