HIGH school pupils have been doing their bit to help disabled children in Africa get an education.

Students from Wolstanton High School have been raising money for the School 4 All in Africa project.

The scheme is run by a partnership between the Rotary International and charity, Leonard Cheshire Disability.

Money raised is used to help educate Africa's disabled children who are excluded from school.

Roger Whittaker, senior vice-president of the Rotary Club in Stoke-on-Trent, said: "These funds will help the disabled children and I thank the school and pupils for the remarkable effort. If children do not go to school their future is bleak as disability in Africa is a taboo subject."
