A thousand desks and a thousand chairs from the now closed Portobello High School are set to embark on a new life - in Africa. The City of Edinburgh Council is working with a number of partners, including charity Chance for Africa, to find new homes for surplus equipment from the 1960s building. While some equipment is being moved to other schools across the city, some is travelling much further. Former pupil Sandra Abdulai returned to her old school, along with her husband Zak Abdulai, founder of Chance for Africa to help start the tables and chairs off on their journey.
