More than 6,100 people have died and hundreds more missing, injured or at risk and the death toll is still rising. The Fundraising Team The money we will raise will help provide emergency shelter, food, clean water and blankets to those in need and help provide the helicopters so desperately needed to get help to the people . It will also help house people whose homes have been destroyed to rebuild their lives. On Wednesday 6th May The Blue School will be having a non school uniform day to raise funds. As a symbol of our solidarity with the people of Nepal we, and other schools in Somerset, will be flying Tibetan Prayer Flags in Kennion and Milton. Read on….
