Sandra's
story in The Daily Mirror
The
Daily Mirror national newspaper published a diary of Sandra's year,
starting from when the Tsunami struck. The story made a great impact,
and led to donations from the public totalling £1,300, including
the money so kindly donated by St
Johns C of E Walham Green Primary School in Fulham.
The school had originally collected the money in the immediate
aftermath of the Tsunami, but had wanted to donate their collection
to a specific fund, rather than to the more general DEC appeal.

married. The final figure raised was £2085.70.
Thanks go to the local newspaper, the "Louth Leader" for its support for the event.
