There were students and teachers walking everywhere I looked, it was noisy and looking at all this food made me absolutely famished. There were many tables with bowls of salads, butter, tomato sauce and cheese and the children were busy concentrating mixing these ingredients. I was not surprised to be told that there were so many sandwiches, and it took a long time for me to find a space were I could start writing.

As I entered the Academy the noise was so loud it made me feel unsettled. The room was full of happy people so it made me approach a table.
This table had delicious food which was sandwiches.
As I was rather angry I tasted one. I’m very happy with what these people are doing for the community.
A simple sandwich raised so much money.
