UK Teachers visit to Silves Sul a success
Kate Broadribb and Charlotte Wells from Wildern School visited the Algarve last week to meet the students taking part in the Digital Media project at Silves Sul School. The Students and staff of Silves Sul provided a welcome tea as the teachers were shown around the England exhibition. They were then entertained with modern pop songs sung by students and accompanied by guitars annd drums. The teachers were introduced to the delights of Armação de Pêra whilst the students of Silves Sul used them as extras for their movie.
Silves Rotary Club held a dinner on the 1 May for the visitors and Kate and Charlotte gave a presentation to Rotary Club members, the Mayor of Armação de Pêra and staff from the Silves Sul School about the introduction of Digital Media in their UK school and the impact that it has had on results. Members felt encouraged that their funding and the efforts of the students of Silves Sul would provide opportunities and experiences which would impact on their future success.

Following a tour of Silves Sul School, Kate and Charlotte were treated to a private showing of the films the students have prepared for entry into the oscars at Wildern School in July. They were impressed with the films they saw and look forward to their entry. It is hoped to take a representative group of students and staff to the Oscars event in the UK.
All in all a successful visit.
Essential items for Castelo dos Sonhos
In the New Year, Alan and David Butler Cole spent a hectic morning at Lidl’s supermarket taking advantage of offers on essential items which the poor of the community lacked. The money you have donated so far this rotary year was stretched to its limits to purchase some of the basic items such as milk, olive oil, tinned sausages and juice and much more so urgently needed. Thanks to everybody who donated through coffee mornings and other events.
Your help is still needed, if you are tidying out for spring then bear us in mind as old clothes, duvets, towels and blankets are always welcome!
Cake Glorious Cake
The Rotary Club of Silves Coffee & Cake morning at the home of Felicity Thoet in Alvor on 15 January was a resounding success. Thirty people enjoyed coffee and cake donated by Rotarians and friends with many purchasing the remainder to take home for tea. It was a lovely opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. With donations, cake purchases and a cheeky game of Heads and Tails, €250 euros was raised in aid of Castelo dos Sonhos. Thanks must go to Felicity for the use of her home and to all the cake bakers who made this event possible.
More Coffee and Cake Mornings are planned.
