‘Help us ship equipment to Pakistan’
2:44pm Wednesday 30th April 2008
AN appeal has been made to help ship education equipment to deprived schools in Pakistan.
Lancashire County Council wants local firms and groups to sponsor containers filled with desks and chairs, bound for the Gujarat region.
The furniture is unwanted stock from Marsden Heights Community College in Brierfield.
Former county council chairman Terry Burns and Marsden Heights headteacher Mike Tull witnessed during a 2007 visit to the Pakistani province how schoolchildren sat on the floor and leaned on their bags to write.
To sponsor a container, contact Coun Burns on 07976 611119.

You are nothing but a bleeding-heart Liberal PC B****rd!
Charity is something that given freely,not ENFORCED by brainwashed fools like you.
Bet you vote New Labour and hire your car boot out to a family of those homeless Eastern Europeans,free of charge of course!
If you are so big on this particular charity,instead of trying to condemn someone to being 'sent to Pakistan to know what those 'poor' people are going through',why don't you get off your sanctimonious backside and do it yourself?

MAD,MAD,statements! Genuine people understand, wealth must be distributed, for one world to grow.
The Nazi`s were barking up the wrong tree in thinking controll was the be all and end all! Freedom of thought, freedom of act, advances civillisation. Not human beings talking gibberish !!!

You are lucky to live in a country where education is provided so readily - albeit the recipients often don't appreciate how well off they are.
England is also a poor country,due to to much immigration and a totally inept government.
