MORE than 700 soft toys collected by children at Rodborough Primary School are being sent to an orphanage in India thanks to the help of the Gloucestershire Freemasons.
Pupils of all year groups generously donated the cuddly creatures from their own toy boxes after the idea was suggested by voluntary teacher John Kimpton, whose brother James has been working with disadvantaged youths in India since 1953.
However, the cost of shipping the toys abroad proved too much for the school, so John contacted the Freemasonry through The Rev Peggy Ludlow at St Mary Magdalene Church in Rodborough, who were happy to pay the bill.
Today, Thursday, April 23, Freemason Mark Smith and Adrian Davies J.P., Provincial Grand Master of the Province of Gloucestershire, visited the school to take stock of the toys before they are shipped out next month.
