School kids from room 14 at Birkenhead Primary School volunteered help raise money for Christchurch earthquake victims after viewing images of the destruction of the city centre.
The group had a stall at the Birkenhead Artisan Market on the 18th of September, and sold home baking, sushi and sweet goodies made by the children and their parents. They also sold second-hand items donated by local families.
The team worked hard from 8am to 1pm, and raised $305, which will be donated to the Red Cross appeal fund. Their teacher, Marion Littin, was extremely proud of them.
