Bambisanani Partnership St.Mary’s School, Menston, Leeds
“Cardinal Maritime have been very supportive from the onset of this development by shipping much needed equipment to Mnyakanya School at no cost and providing us with valuable financial support. The Bambisanani Partnership is making a difference to young people in both countries and the continued support from Cardinal Maritime will help us make even more of a difference over the next 12 months.” Commented David Geldart, Assistant Headteacher and founder of the Bambisanani Partnership.
The Bambisanani Partnership is a unique initiative developed by St. Mary’s School, Menston and Mnyakayna School in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. The partnership has gained international acclaim for its work using sport as a catalyst to develop international understanding, education, health and leadership.
The partnership has established an ambitious plan which involves students and teachers from both countries being involved in exchange visits. A group of fourteen students and four staff from St. Mary’s have recently returned from working in South Africa and a visit of South African students and staff is planned for June of this year. The initiative also funds forty Aids orphans into Mnyakanya School and provides much needed equipment. In the last year, funding has allowed the development of computing skills. Most recently, Bambisanani Enterprises has been established. This is a student led business which is producing and selling Zulu crafts in both countries. Long term, it is hoped to build proper toilets at Mnyakanya School which serves one of the poorest communities in South Africa.

“Thank you very much for the support for the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Unit fund. Many of our patients live for long periods of time on the ward and it is so important that we provide them with a good quality of life. The main component of the new building being built will be a 20 bedded ward and we intend to put into that all the charitable monies which we have received over the last year to make it like a ‘home from home’. Your donation will go directly towards patient care but also to make a much more pleasant unit to live on.
Your generous donation will go a very long way to make this possible”
Yours sincerely,
Professor AK Webb, Clinical Director

“To The Captain
Thanks for supporting MACS. All donations go directly to benefit the children. Our continuing projects are to be able to purchase computers and/or specialist software for our visually impaired or totally blind children. Many of the MACS children need them as much as sighted children need pen and paper. Without support from people like yourself we would not be able to achieve this”

“Pop Connection gives thousands of children in primary schools an opportunity to record an album of pop songs. The content of the songs is a positive alternative to chart music, written from a Christian perspective. The project brings together school, church and community for a special concert at the end of a weeks rehearsal and recording.
Once again, thank you. Your support is greatly appreciated.”
