THREE primary school children have given up their birthday presents to raise money for the tsunami appeal.

Alexander Schooling and Fraser Barnes, both aged seven, and Eloise Barnes, five, are all from Thornlow School in Weymouth.

They wanted to help children affected by the Asian tsunami disaster and so asked for people to make a donation to the appeal rather than buy them a present.

This money was combined with funds raised from a disco for fellow pupils at the Centenary Club in Weymouth.

They raised £300 and the money was given to the Weymouth Round Table.
