Howard Presents Prizes to Budding Artists in Renfrewshire

Angus Coull • September 10, 2024

Great event hosted by Renfrewshire Fair Trade Group

The Renfrewshire Fair Trade Steering Group's schools art exhibition and prize presentation was a big success, mainly thanks to Pauline for all her time and effort in making it a great event. The council were immensely helpful and the sound, catering and art went very well. About 60 people turned up.


All 5 prize winners and 5 other students received their prizes and certificates from Kilombero Rice farmer, Howard Msukwa. Howard spoke very well and presented the awards, and all the winners had their photos taken with him. Thanks also to those who judged the art and to Dylan for arranging the hoardings but also individual photos in frames for all the winners. 


Each school which took part received a Fair Trade Bala Sport football, rugby ball and netball.
