The Grace School Assembly.

Local schools come along to the site and make bricks, build a mud hut and experience what it’s like to have a Sudan school experience. Here’s a handful of images from the visits.


A special visitor Rev. Bilo teaches some Arabic to the children.

Cheselbourne School came along to help and made more bricks than any other school – well done all, great team work and some really good questions. Thanks for coming.


Broadmayne First School thanks all the 52 children that came to the Grace School Assembly and helped by making mud bricks and building a mud hut. Thanks to Mark, Carole, and Debs for the hardwork. Sorry to the bus driver for muddy feet…

"Today I went to Poundbury with my class to the Grace Secondary School project. I had a great time making bricks and learning all about it.... It was a brilliant day and we learnt alot about how people live elsewhere."
