NON-UNIFORM FOR SYRIA/TURKEY EARTHQUAKES

On February 6, 4:17am: a 7 8 magnitude earthquake struck Northern Syria and Southern Turkey The worst in over a century for these countries, it caused despair and misery. The death toll doubled every few days, now over 57,000, and unfortunately still counting Millions of people have been left homeless, spending nights in the freezing cold, many taking refuge in their cars or under blankets in the streets, camping around fires like cavemen.

At Vesey, we initiated a non-uniform day to raise funds to support the relief efforts as well as to commemorate the lives lost in this tragedy Charity Captain Harry U6 and I held assemblies to educate others about the earthquake through the week; we also hosted table tennis games for students to make donations and play against their favourite teachers

I am extremely grateful for how quickly Mr Robson and Harry (Charity Captain) recognised the need to do our part and helping me organise this campaign It was astounding to see the Vesey community raise well over £2,300 "
