I thought that I had poste this up months ago but obviously not…apologies….
Despite everyone’s efforts & the fact that on they day we had beaten the Guinness World Record (GWR), re the number of adults reading to children set in November 2010, we didn’t know at the time that crowds had amassed in Texas in May 2011 & had taken the record before we even got a look in. Self Help Africa staff had checked the day before the festival in Sheffield but the GWR system doesn’t tell you if there are any records awaiting GWR verification. In case you want to see the figures:

The most adults reading to children at a single location was 347 adults who read to 991 children at an event organised by Matzke Elementary School (USA) in Houston, Texas, USA, on 6 May 2011.

For our attempt at Peace in the PArk in 2011 we managed:
281 adults.
412 children

I hope you’d agree that although we didn’t break the record this time we still had a fantastic day which was made possible by your involvement & support. Thank you & wishing you all a brilliant PitP this year!

Hi all.

Just sending a huge thanks to everyone at this year’s (2011) festival who supported, donated to, asked about Self Help Africa’s work with rural communities. We are delighted that the donations raised £2,500 which was spilt between SHA & Sheffield Mind. It was a fantastic day, aided by the spirit of the folk who attended & the organisers who made us feel really welcome. Best of luck for future years!!!!

We are always happy to have further volunteers helping out on the day – if you drop an email to kids@peaceinthepark.org.uk then Lucy should be able to give you further information, once we have started planning next Summer’s event.
