A group of mid Norfolk school pupils have been creating t-shirt designs to help raise funds for children in Africa.

Three girls from Barnham Broom Primary School have designed logos and one of these will be printed on t-shirts to be sold at Southburgh World Music Festival in July.

Proceeds from the t-shirt sales will be sent to Rugare Primary School in Zimbabwe - the former school of musician Anna Mudeka who now lives in Norfolk and who is hosting the global music festival at her home, Burton Manor Barns, Cranworth, near Dereham.

The money will help orphans at Rugare Primary as well as help with the general running of the school.

Ms Mudeka said she was delighted with the designs created by Eleanor Tyree, Charlotte Pounder and Libby Miller, all 11-years-old.

Along with their classmates they have been learning about the Zimbabwean school as well as African music and dancing, and all three girls said they created their designs because they wanted to help the children at Rugare Primary as much as possible.

Ms Mudeka has chosen Eleanor's colourful image of people dancing for the t-shirt but said she would love to use the other designs in future projects.

She said: “Eleanor's design with the little dancers - it's happy, it's fun and it's music. She has all the three elements of the festival in the logo.”

Southburgh World Music Festival is on July 31 from midday until 10pm. There will be workshops in Bhangra and salsa dancing, Samba drumming and circus skills.

African band Kasai Masai is the headline act at the festival and there will also be a whole host of other world music, as well as Caribbean food and stalls selling crafts from around the globe.

Tickets, if bought before July 14, cost £10 for adults and £5 for children. After July 14 adult tickets cost £12. There is an extra cost to take part in the workshops.
