0 Gifted Student Sponsorship, Zambia & Malawi
We bring you good cheer today with news of 3 gifted students we have been sponsoring in Zambia and Malawi.
What a difference this opportunity of a quality education will bring to these three. We hope you are blessed by reading here about their individual journeys 🙂
0 School Desks, Uganda and Zambia
We are pleased to report that not one, but two, schools are being supported with desks by High Five Club, in Zambia and Uganda.
Schools in rural Africa are severely under-funded by government and many children either sit on mounds fashioned out of mud or on the floor in class. This does not make for a conducive learning environment.
We have joined hands together to provide new desks and refurbish broken ones in two rural junior schools.
We hope you enjoy reading about our help of these children.
0 Remembering Dean Robert Willis
We were saddened to hear that High Five Club Patron, The Very Reverend Dr Robert Andrew Willis, died on 22 October 2024.
Robert was a passionate supporter and Patron of the High Five Club.
Robert trained at Cuddesdon College and was ordained deacon in 1972 and priest in 1973. Following ministry in Shrewsbury and Salisbury Dioceses, he became Dean of Hereford in 1992 and subsequently Dean of Canterbury in 2001. The Archbishop of Canterbury conferred upon Dean Robert the title of Dean Emeritus of Canterbury following his retirement in 2022, in recognition of his lifetime of ministry. He was awarded the Cross of St Augustine for services to the Anglican Communion and was a Knight of the Order of St John.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
