Text Box: welcomed Burton Borough Secondary school who joined It's Our World in the autumn of 2007.They have been very busy through 2007-08 introducing Ecuador into the schools curriculum and with a number of fund raising activities.

 

 
Those activities included 'mufti days', a Ceilidh, a Race Night, designing and selling Christmas Cards, a Medical Centre catalogue where donations related to specific items and many more.

In October & November 2008 the school had Ecuador and it's history as a key lesson and this culminated in a concert by Year 7 in which the history of the country was illustrated through drama, song and dance - a great and very informative evening!

Finally, at the end of the Autumn term, and after 1 year of fund raising, the school presented the charity with a cheque for £7,000 which is going towards the building of the Medical Centre in Nueva Prosperina, Guayaquil.

For Christmas 2008, we asked the school if they would design our Christmas card for us - we chose 2 winners and 1 runner up.
