Starfish Help
What is Starfish?
One day, there was a little boy on the beach with his mum. He saw a lot of Starfish stranded on the beach and started to throw them back into the sea. His mum asked him,”What are you doing? You can’t help all those starfish!” He said, “I just helped that one… and that one… and that one!
So I am helping build Joshua Dhube school, one piece of crochet at a time.
Building a school one piece of crochet at a time
My name is Jill Geddes. I have been fundraising to build Joshua Dhube School in Zimbabwe since 2013. For five years, I went to Zimbabwe to help build a two classroom block. I have been to the site and helped dig foundations, lay bricks, be a labourer on site and paint existing classrooms. I am booked to go again in 2022, having missed a visit owing to the pandemic.
All profits from the Starfish stall and Facebook page go to help the school. So far, it has paid for tables, cupboards, posters, books, coloured pencils and paths and steps across the school

The Starfish stall raises money for Joshua Dhube Primary school in Dangamvura, Zimbabwe. Giving children a good education is a way to help both them and their families have a good life.
