CHILDREN at a Mearns primary school took part in two days of sporting
events to raise money for equipment and toys for a school in Armenia.
More than 250 children at Stonehaven's Dunnottar Primary have been
playing basketball, practising their dribbling and clearing hurdles
to raise funds for basic equipment.
The money will be used to buy books, toys and paints for the school.
The former Soviet republic has been trying to rebuild itself since
an earthquake in 1988 which left 45,000 dead.
The goods are being taken by Stonehaven nurse Angie Mutch, 41, who is
leading a team of medically-trained people on a two-week expedition
in October.
Ms Mutch, who has a nine-year-old son at the school, has been raising
funds for her trip to buy as much equipment as possible.
Last month she completed a sponsored swim, despite having broken her
back following a fall eight years earlier.
The money from Dunnottar School will provide 18 months' worth of
equipment for the school, she said.
The two-day event was run as an enterprise project, organised by the
children in primary six.
They were tasked with coming up with ideas for activities, sending
out letters, organising sponsorship forms and arranging a bus to pick
up nursery children from Carronhill School.
Primary six teacher Emma Fraser said: "The pupils have done a brilliant
job, everything has run very smoothly. Other pupils have said they
would like to do it when they are in primary six."
