Aberdeen-based removals and storage company, The Shore Porters Society, has been doing its bit to try and improve the lives of children in Morocco.
Shore Porters offered a helping hand to Helalat Village Trust, a charity which supports small schools on the outskirts of Casablanca, run by Aberdeen teacher, Stephanie Richards.
The Helalat Village School, like many in the area, has very limited funds and virtually no books or access to computers.
Through her charity work, Mrs Richards sends resources to the schools, and was delighted when Shore Porters stepped in to provide used boxes in order to aid a recent shipment, as well as another which will take place in the next few weeks.
Doreen Paterson, Shore Porters’ Shipping Co-ordinator, said: “We are really pleased to be able to assist Helalat Village Trust and it is great to see our boxes being put to good use to help schoolchildren in a rural Moroccan community.
“Although Shore Porters is Aberdeen-based, our deliveries for customers take us all over the world and it is nice to be able to help a worthy cause overseas.
“To be able to help in such a practical way is fantastic, and it is great that the boxes can be used to help what is such useful cause.”
Mrs Richards added: “Everyone involved in the charity is absolutely delighted with the help Shore Porters has offered us.
“Even simple things like donating boxes and cartons for us to use when shipping donated items is such a huge help to us, and allows us to concentrate on filling the boxes.
“We would like to thank The Shore Porters’ Society for their generous donation, it is hugely appreciated not only by us but by all the under privileged children that will benefit.”
