Better Late Than Never<\/h3>\n

\"Archie<\/a>Riverbank held a special assembly on Tuesday afternoon for a special guest, Emma Slessor, from the Archie Foundation who came to visit us to tell us all about the Archie in Africa Day Appeal.<\/p>\n

\"Presentation\"<\/a>
Emma tells us all about the Archie in Africa Appeal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Archie in Africa Day was, actually, last Friday 27 March 2015 but as we had a very busy timetable, it was decided that Riverbank would hold their Archie in Africa Day on Wednesday 1 April 2015….. and before anyone says….. it’s not an April Fool! We really are having a fundraiser for Archie in Africa.<\/p>\n

The campaign is to raise funds to build a ‘for children only, operating theatre for the Mulago and Naguru Hospitals in Kampala, Uganda and to help improve facilities for parents who are attending hospital with their children.<\/p>\n

Emma helped us understand how lucky we are. An overnight stay for parents in Uganda would result in them having to sleep on a bed roll, on the floor underneath the hospital bed of their child! Here, in Aberdeen at ARCHie, parents who need to stay overnight to be with their children are allocated a room with a pull down bed. Even the waiting room facilities in Uganda are overcrowded and the facilities on the wards at ARCHie, with video games, books, toys etc are a far cry from what is available for the sick children in Kampala.<\/p>\n

\"Q&A<\/a>
Emma followed up her presentation with a question and answer session.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have attached a link to the Archie in Africa website, so if you want to find out more about the appeal, you can.<\/p>\n

How are we going to help? This afternoon we are having a showing of the film, The Lion King and we are asking you to make a donation of \u00a31. There may also be some popcorn on sale, too! Let’s hope we can raise some money to help ARCHIE in AFRICA!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
