FEEDBACK MADAGASCAR
The most heartfelt thank you to everyone at St John’s for their incredible support for Feedback Madagascar. The coffee fundraiser raised an amazing £426, and on behalf of the team I send our deepest thanks! It was particularly timely as a cyclone hit one of our work zones during late night Sunday 9 March into the early hours of Monday 10 March. Our team had no fatalities thankfully but significant damage to one of our research projects that required us needing to send an immediate £500 this week which is what your fabulous donations have gone to cover.
Thank you so much! Jude Pollock
