Students Against Poverty would like to thank all those who give their time and help over the last 5 weeks. With little recources and even less experinece we have managed to fill a 45 seater bus, of school students, to attend the G8 protests in July. From the start all decisions were democraticaly decided. A series of debates and discusions were held where members had a chance to speak about issues such as war, age discrimanation and anti_racism. Through a range of events, we raised over £2000. This meant that a bus seat only cost £15 which was essential as school students are generally skint. A big thank you to all those who donated. Unfortunately, due to exams, SAP will be diappaering for the next 2 months(hence the rush in fillin the bus).
So we hope to see you all at the G8!
