In January 2011, Plymouth College Year 7 students decided to take on the challenge of sponsoring a child from a Tanzanian orphanage through their schooling. Working with Mr Beavington's Banana Tree Project charity www.bananatreeproject.org, the pupils raised over £1400 through various activities, including a fun run undertaken by two girls dressed as bananas, which has seen immediate effects.

Mr Beavington, Head of History at Plymouth College, visited Mwanza in Tanzania during last week's half term to get updates from the children, schools and orphanages and was delighted to report that the children have seized the opportunity that UK sponsors have given them with relish. Asha Hassan, who goes to school because of Plymouth College's pupils, wrote a letter thanking them for their support and made a short video message to say thank you. She is performing strongly in Form 3 at Sunrise Secondary School and is enjoying her studies.

 
This year's Year 7 students at Plymouth College, inspired by their predecessors' efforts, have also committed themselves to sponsoring a child through The Banana Tree Project.  To make a donation go to www.charitygiving.co.uk/pmcyear7
