Money to build the St. Benet's School for Peace was mostly raised in and around Beccles in England. A variety of events took place including slide shows of visits to Congo, selling crafts bought in Congo, tea parties and suppers, sponsored walks, a flower festival and music concerts.

We a very grateful to the generous people who have supported the project.

Here are some pictures of recent fund-raising events. More will be added in the coming months.
