COMBE Bank Choral Society is helping an ex-pupil to raise vital funds for a school in Kenya.

Sarah Wade, 20, of Sundridge Road, Ide Hill, left Combe Bank two years ago and after visiting Marich Pass Village in north-west Kenya, is striving to help a local primary school.

Miss Wade visited Kenya to carry out research. She said: "As part of my studies I had the opportunity to spend nearly two months in Kenya last summer conducting research for my dissertation.

"Since coming home, I have found out that the primary school needs two new classrooms."

Each classroom will cost £4,000 to build and Miss Wade is hoping to collect a total of £8,000 for two, plus extra money to help pupils and staff at the school.

She said: "I have already raised more than £5,000 and I hope to continue raising money through the Friends From Marich Pass Charity," she said.
