September
Almost fifty years of constant civil war in South Sudan has left this nation as little more than dust. Children did not learn to read or write, but learnt to run from helicopter gunships, fire AK 47s and tell whether a plane would drop food or bombs. They now desperately need education in order to know how to rebuild their nation.
Vodafone have now promised to sponsor Naomi Pendle (Wellington College) to work for HART for a year at Marol Academy (South Sudan). With Baroness Cox's help, the project was amongst the winners from 1,000 entrants in Vodafone's 'World of Difference' competition.
She will spend the year teaching and teacher training in South Sudan, and trying to raise all types of support. Marol Academy still remains in need of so much help. Please
contact HART for more information or see Vodafone’s website:

HART has partnered with Amnesty International and Waging Peace to present an exhibition of children’s drawings on the subject of ‘Home’ from conflict zones from around the globe.
The exhibition was showcased at the United Nations (UN) as the UN met to discuss an Arms Treaty supported by Amnesty International and Oxfam. The Arms Treaty concerns Arms trades which can be deemed to lead to violations of human rights violations.
The exhibition was an enormous success and was mentioned by the UK Ambassador John Duncan on the UK FCO website:

Alex canoes 21 miles from Staines to
Kew in support of HART. Sadly, in this time of economic instability the
British pound now buys fewer provisions than previously and so, now more
than ever, every donation is needed to enable sustainable change for our
partners abroad. Please give whatever you can:
https://www.help.co.uk/fundraisers/alexandraj.
Success! Alex managed to complete the 24 mile stretch from Staines to Kew via the Thames in her Canoe! Although the heavens opened, Alex had a million mars bars to keep her going, as well as the rest of the canoeing team! £2,000 was raised
~ this will be split 50/50 between HART and A+ Adventure Plus. Many thanks to all who kindly supported.
