Your Stories
We are so proud to share with you some stories from children in England and Wales, who by their praying and sharing have really become Children Helping Children. Their kindness and enthusiasm for helping other children around the world really makes them stand out as Mission Together mini-missionaries.
We would like to thank them, and all of the children who have worked so hard in the selfless cause of helping others. Their contribution has made a huge difference.

A big 'thank you' to St John's Primary in Bridgnorth who sent in this brilliant artwork. It was drawn by a Year 1 pupil who heard about Robert in Malawi and wanted to send him a picture. We're sure that Robert will be thrilled! In 2011, St John's pupils also managed to raise a fantastic £95.00 to help children overseas. Thank you very much St John's, you're doing a great job. |

More good news from St Elizabeth's School in Manchester. They held a Day of Many Colours to support children in Malawi. The pupils all dressed in the many colours of the Mission Rosary to raise money, and they said prayers for each of the continents in a special assembly. For more information about the Day of Many Colours, just click here. |

Many thanks to one of our volunteers Mary Dearden who created this display for her parish flower festival. The flowers are cleverly arranged to form a Mission Rosary and the Mission Together Prayer is on display in the background. Not only did Mary raise awareness of Mission Together in a very creative way, she also managed to raise £65.00. |

We were very impressed to hear from Henry E from Wiltshire who managed to raise £60.00 by organising a cookie sale at school. Henry is 5 years old, but the sale was all his idea and he even made publicity posters to promote the event! Thank you to Henry and everyone who helped to organise the sale. |

Well done as well to Katy, Amelie and Genevieve from Suffolk, whose grandmother wrote to us about their efforts to fill their Mission Together little red box with coins 'to help children for whom getting food and water is not so easy'. They must have worked really hard, because they managed to collect £40.00 to help children overseas. The girls even took our posters and Children's Newsletter to school with them to show everyone and tell them all about the children in Malawi. Thank you girls. Keep up the good work! |

Huge thanks to all schools that have raised money in our Mission Together collecting boxes. Pupils of The Blessed Sacrament School in Preston managed to raise £37.50 in their boxes, while St Edward's School in Runcorn raised £120.00. Every penny is gratefully received and will make a huge difference to the lives of some of the poorest children in the world. |

Mission Together also encourages children to pray for other children and ask God to help them. Last year, schools across England and Wales managed to say the Mission Together Prayer a staggering 500,000 times! We were amazed to hear about St Francis of Assisi School in Crawley, where pupils said the Mission Together Prayer 32,000 times. Our thanks goes out to all who took part in this incredible effort. |
