Sotogrande in southern Spain is well known for Polo, but on Saturday November 19th horses were replaced with bicycles as teams participated in a unique form of the sport, Bike Polo. The event, sponsored by Anglo Wines, was organised by an SIS student, Innin Buyl as part of her MYP Personal Project. Despite the rain, players and spectators were treated to a fun, fundraising event, with a myriad of entertainment, great food and of course a selection of superb refreshments. Innin set herself an ambitious target for the event, to raise sufficient funds to build a kitchen at Nabugabo Community School in Uganda. We are delighted to announce that the proceedings raised an impressive 2100€, which David Batten and Judy Harris, founders of the NCS school will use to build an eco kitchen, providing students with a hot meal daily. Thanks to all sponsors and supporters of this event, this will make a massive difference to children´s lives.
