for charity, and it 2 already (count). We’ve raised

over £650! The charities (choose): they are the National Children’s
Foundation (NCF) and Children Worldwide. Next week, half of the money 4
(send) to Children Worldwide, and a cheque for the other half 5 (present) to
the NCF at their office. Our local newspaper will be there to photograph the occasion, and the head
boy and head girl 6 (ask) to hand over the cheque. Fortunately, they’ve
both said ‘yes’! In addition, a famous person 7 (invite) to attend the cheque
presentation. We don’t know who it’s going to be, but once that’s confirmed, arrangements
8
(make) for you all to meet him or her here at school.
