We had a special visit by Rev. Bilo from the Sudan. He’s over in the UK with Jacob - the head teacher from Hope Primary School staying in Bradford Deanery. Whilst in the UK they came to see what the children were up to in Dorchester. Some very interesting comments about OUR hut building skills, whilst the children learnt some Arabic greetings and were told about life in the Sudan by someone who lives there.
There's a great opportunity for you to get closer to life in Kadugli when students from Weymouth College take part in a building project for Grace at the new Dorset Construction & Training Centre for Weymouth College at Poundbury. A traditional Sudanese mud hut will be built with the help of local school pupils. Although Grace Secondary School will be a less traditional construction, the bricks have been made by local people using the same methods.
School parties are invited to spend the day at the centre where they will be able to make bricks and learn more about the Sudan.
At IPP we aim to make a difference to the environment, not only through the thoughtful planning of international print and production, but by also being directly involved in the restoration of ancient woodlands..
