The school's inhouse speedy tailors immediately got to work, altering them so that they would fit the kids without swamping them. As you can see in the before-and-after shot, the sleeves now end at the hands (not the knees) and the bottom now ends at the bottom (not the ankles)!
Primary head teacher Peter said: “We are very grateful to the donors who have supplied our children with sweaters. Some people will wonder why children in a hot African country would need sweaters. Actually, although a lot of the time it’s very hot (35º C), during rainy seasons it becomes comparatively cold, especially at night (15–20ºc). While 20º is warm for the UK, for our children it feels cold, and they’re all glad of their new sweaters. So thanks!”
