13 November 2007 was World Kindness Day. Forthview School received a Kind Kids award for their kindness to Hle Bee School and to the Burmese people. This was a great honour for the school. Here is Naomi receiving the award on behalf of Forthview from the Lady Provost of Edinburgh. Helena showed her usual kind nature by giving the Lady Provost some of her Burmese art.
Forthview and Hle Bee Schools have a partnership link supported by the DfID/British Council's Global Schools Partnership Programme. Fiona Vacher and Irvine Wright, Forthview teachers are visiting Hle Bee this summer. Mary Gillespie, Headteacher of Pirniehall, our neighbouring school in Edinburgh and 2 of her teachers are also travelling to Say Ta Nar School, their link Burmese school.
