Sarah Walsh and Geoff Wootton support Revival School in Westmoreland, Jamaica.
Inspired by a BBC Clive Myrie documentary about his mother working at the school, they contacted the headteacher and took over supplies including pens and laptops.
They also had great fun flattening footballs donated by Petersfield Town Football Club to take to the school and reflating them in Jamaica.
The devastation of hurricane Melissa meant the school became a hub for people to live in when homes were destroyed.
Geoff and Sarah are now raising money - a quiz night at Annie Jones on 3 March - to pay for the transport of musical instruments donated by Rocksteady (where Geoff works) in Liphook. Rocksteady support over 100,000 children in the UK too.
Freight charges could be around £2,000.
Sarah and Geoff told Mike Waddington about what they are doing and why.
The Quiz Night is on Tuesday 3 March at Annie Jones (venue provided free) from 7:30pm. Tickets cost £15 and places (and teams of six) can be booked by email to wintonplayerssecretary@gmail.com
