World Malaria Day

“Globally, the world has made incredible progress against malaria. But we are still too far from the end point we seek: a world free of malaria. Every year, the global tally of new malaria cases exceeds 200 million. And every 2 minutes, a child dies from this preventable and treatable disease. The damage inflicted extends far beyond loss of life: malaria takes a heavy toll on health systems, sapping productivity and eroding economic growth. Ultimately, investing in universal health care is the best way to ensure that all communities have access to the services they need to beat malaria. Individual and community empowerment through grassroots initiatives like “Zero malaria starts with me” can also play a critical role in driving progress.”

Epic Boarding Concert

On the 2nd April Leman 1 organised a Boarding Concert in aid of the Tomas Costa Appeal.

It was a great night which raised a significant amount of money for the cause.

Our thanks go out to the performers;

and also to all those who attended and gave so generously.

We ended the concert with a Charity Auction which exceeded our expectations.
