A group of 45 Sixth Formers from Dauntsey’s have created a charity single to raise money for The Nightingales Children’s Project in Cernavoda, Romania. The song they have chosen is Come Alive from the musical, The Greatest Showman. The goal is to raise £6,000 to enable the Project to continue sponsoring 15 local girls. Keeping these girls in education allows them to fulfil their potential and prevents them being forced into negative life choices.
Dauntsey’s has supported Nightingales for more than 15 years. Each summer a group of Lower Sixth students fundraise and run a summer camp for the young people of Cernavoda. Due to Covid the 2020 and 2021 trips have been cancelled.
Jane Hubbard, Head of Charities at Dauntsey’s, said:
“The Nightingales Children’s Project has been a long-standing commitment for Dauntsey’s pupils and the summer trip holds a special place in our annual calendar. The students regularly raise £10,000 each year, which equates to almost a third of the Charity’s annual budget.
“It has been very disappointing not to be able to run the Summer camp this year and last. Creating a charity single has been a fantastic, Covid-friendly means of raising much-needed funds for Project.”
