Pupils adopt Haiti’s flag colours to help victims
1:50pm Tuesday 9th February 2010
YOUNGSTERS at a school held a colourful show to raise money for victims of the Haiti earthquake disaster.
Pupils at Fairhouse Infant and Junior schools, in Long Riding, Basildon, dressed up in red and blue, the colours of the Haiti flag, to raise money for the relief effort in the devastated country.
They collected just over £400, which was given to Basildon Rotary Club to go towards funding ShelterBoxes.
The lifesaving packages contain vital survival equipment such as a ten-man tent, torches, warm clothing and cooking utensils.
