North East Herts MP Oliver Heald, accompanied by constituents Lizzie Raine and Amy Yelland, delivered a petition and students’ artwork from four local schools, Millfield First and Nursery School and Edwinstree Middle School in Buntingford, and St Francis College and St Christopher Junior School in Letchworth Garden City. This was in support of the Send My Sister to School Campaign. The Campaign is pressing the Government to ensure that the Millennium Goals for education of girls are achieved.
Commenting, Oliver Heald said, “I received some of the artwork I presented at Number Ten when I visited Millfield First and Nursery School in Buntingford recently. I presented the petition for this important Campaign at Number Ten and was amazed at the quality of the artwork and passion of the students for this cause. I know that the Prime Minister supports this Campaign and I am sure that he will feel encouraged by this welcome support from young people.”
