SCHOOLGIRLS moved by the Asian tsunami disaster have been busy doing odd jobs to help the relief appeal.
Samantha Marshall, Laura Peveller and twins Danielle and Jessica Frisby, all aged 12, from Esh Winning, have so far raised £140 for the disaster fund.
The girls, who are all pupils at Deerness Valley School, Ushaw Moor, set to work during the Christmas holidays and wrote to neighbours and family offering to do jobs in return for donations for the appeal.
The tasks included shopping, dog walking, tidying gardens, babysitting and washing cars.
The twins' father Gary Frisby said: "I'm very proud of what they have done."
