EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we see young pupil Aiden Reeve and TV presenter Chris Wenner proudly carrying a sack full of stamps. These stamps were collected at Arnold Lodge Prep School in Leamington for the "Blue Peter" television programme appeal, aimed at helping the sick in remote parts of Tanzania, East Africa. The incredible transportation was made possible by Aiden's dad Richard, who owns a helicopter and farms in Eathorpe. The dedication and generosity shown by the students at Arnold Lodge Prep School is truly inspiring. Starting their stamp collection efforts in mid-January, they managed to gather an impressive average of 330 stamps per pupil. The weight of the sack reached approximately 30lbs and contained over 100,000 stamps! Mrs. Moira King, the headmaster's secretary expressed her overwhelming delight with the response from both students and staff alike. This remarkable display of compassion demonstrates how even small acts can make a significant impact on those less fortunate. The uplifting moment captured here also includes interviews conducted by Chris Wenner with Aiden and his fellow student for an upcoming episode of "Blue Peter". Their story will undoubtedly inspire viewers across the nation as they witness these young individuals' commitment to making a difference. This photograph from March 6th, 1979 serves as a timeless reminder that kindness knows no bounds when it comes to lending a helping hand to those in need.
