Jane Newman's Thorn Tree Project Benefit
Douglas Atkin, Val Laskos, and Jane Newman
Jay/day cub reporter Adelaide Horton filed this report from the recent benefit for Jane Newman's Thorn Tree school program, hosted by Clodagh Design.
It was a successful evening. Jane gave a very interesting presentation and she was trying to raise $25,000 for a well for the schools.The current well was dug by hand and because of the draught, it is called a 6 deep well. That means it takes a chain of 6 warriors passing up water to the top. The water is contaminated at night by the baboons and other animals seeking water. It is also 2km from the school!
After 5 years there are more than 700 children in school.
