Ferraby School News               (March 2001)

 On Pilgrimage - bv Mandana Harrison
       On Christmas Eve my Mum and Dad and I went to Haifa in Israel on Pilgrimage. The Shrines were very beautiful and the gardens were very pretty.
       My favourite bit was visiting Bahá'u'lláh's Shrine in Bahji.
       The weather was lovely and warm and there were lots of stairs going down Mount Carmel.

Dancing for Charity

       It’s a hectic schedule for Farah and Hannah at the moment. Recently they danced in Hollywood - the hotel in Benfleet that is - where £22,000 was raised for the Indian Earthquake Fund in four hours.
       In Bracknell in Berkshire people paid £15 for a dinner and dance and the sisters have also been seen at venues as diverse as the Hilton Hotel at Hyde Park and a school in Leytonstone. In Ilford they have danced at the Ilford Town Hall and the Kenneth More Theatre.
       In all, eighty children are involved in this project to help those involved in the earthquake. They have been invited to Harrow by the Mayor and are due to appear in Birmingham soon.
       So our lovely dancers are appearing in more and more parts of the country and doing wonderful work for those suffering in India. Poor Yusuf now knows what it means to have stars in the family - he's a very busy agent.

 And a future musician  

Elliott Prior began learning the cello last September - a rather large instrument for him to stroll into Ferraby Bahá’í School with. Since January he has had his own cello so soon, as well as watching Lootfun sisters dance, we may be able to listen to a Prior recital.

 Well done to all
