Sherborne - An Education For Life

Raising money for the FEBA School in Zambia

Lyon House Blind Auction

Bidding has now closed.

The Lyon House Auction has just closed and I wanted to say thank-you to all of you, lucky bidders or not, for the support given to this event. We have raised over £2,500 from this one initiative and are fast closing in on our target of £10,000 after only 3 months of fund raising.

My thanks to you all and may I also say a huge thank you to the parents of Lyon House and their considerable generosity in sponsoring this auction.

It is under a tree in the garden of that school where Rati Moyo (2002-2007) was buried following a tragic accident whilst on his gap year last March. Rati’s aunt runs the FEBA School which is a charity set up to educate some of the most disadvantaged children (many orphans to AIDS) in Zambia.

In October, a dozen boys and staff will be taking the proceeds of a year’s fund-raising as well as a substantial amount of Sherborne enthusiasm, out to Zambia with the aim of building a new wing to the school and working with the children to help improve their lives.

Best wishes,

Guy Briere-Edney
