A Didcot teacher is collecting pencils and paper for children in one of the world's poorest countries.
Kathryn Millar, a science teacher at St Birinus School -- pictured with pupils Tom Blizard, Phil Simm, Charlie Rodgers, Nathan Jones and Andrew Hawkins -- is spending part of the school holidays at a centre for street boys in Sudan.
She will be visiting a friend who is teaching at an international school in Khartoum and who helps out at the centre. Miss Millar said: "In the mornings, they do school work, in the afternoons they study joinery and mechanical skills."
A stationery shop run by Didcot pupils donated £25 worth of stationery, and pupils throughout the school put together gifts of pencil cases with pens and pencils.
