The farewell event for the 2023-2024 exchange was a wonderful occasion. Charity directors, school staff and governors and all our host families were present along with special guests BOTH patron, Helena Bonham Carter. There was singing and dancing, celebration and speeches 🧡.

The Ntafufu group were also thrilled to spend time with @UrswickSchool Governor Leroy Logan. He inspired and motivated them through sharing his life story. His message chimed closely with the ethos of BOTH in the importance of sharing similarities and learning from differences.🧡

Team Ntafufu have excelled this week in sharing their history, culture, languages and individual talents at @UrswickSchool through lessons and assemblies. They also got to join in with their peers in Year 11 Urswick lessons. They were warmly welcomed. 🧡

On Saturday we were thrilled to be part of the record breaking crowd to watch @ArsenalWFC beat Manchester United 3-1. The atmosphere was amazing and we even started a Mexican wave!! 🧡

An inspirational day four was spent at @UCL east campus where Kate Irwin and Molly Cofman-Nicoresti lead the group through interactive workshops around employment and interview skills. We finished the day with a fantastic Turkish feast at the fabulous CheMen restaurant. 🧡🧡

Day three and time for the sights of London! First stop the London Eye, followed by a walk past Big Ben, then a visit to Nelson Mandela’s statue and on to Downing Street and Trafalgar Square. We finished at @sohoplacelondon for the matinee performance of The Little Big Things 🧡!

Huge thanks to the @Everymancinema , Belsize Park for our special, private screening of Big Hero 6 today! We were blown away by the welcome signage, the holding screen celebrating our charity and the generosity of the whole experience. Very appreciated by all! 🧡

Day two got off to an early start with the morning spent at school getting to know each other bit more and preparing lessons and assemblies in the computer room.🧡
