Scholarship Distribution at Rajapur Primary School - 2017
Mannan Foundation Trustees attended the annual book distribution ceremony at Rajapur Primary School. This year, we awarded scholarships to 3 students in each class, with the best results. The aim of these scholarships is to encourage the students do excel by introducing a healthy competition. Most parents of the students are not able to continue supporting their children with their education due to poverty. The scholarships go some way to support the brightest students to continue their studies
World Food Stall Event - 11th December 2017
Our Trustee Tumpa Fellows organised the "World Food Stall" fundraising event at the office of Proctor & Matthews. Our appreciation to all those in Proctor & Matthews' office, who volunteered to make the ‘World Food Stall’ event a great success.
The neighbouring offices were invited for a festive lunch cooked by the colleagues, who prepared dishes from around the world. Not only did the event bring different people from the neighbouring offices together, to enjoy home cooked, delicious warm food, on a particularly chilly Monday afternoon, most importantly it has raised money to help the disadvantaged. The fundraising will go towards the Rajapur Women's Literacy and Healthcare Centre and also towards the Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh.
Thank you very much for supporting our Trustee Tumpa to organise this wonderful event. Your help will make a huge difference to the lives of the disadvantaged.
