Story

TEAM MEMBERS - Patrick Allen, Arwel Thomas, Diane Cann, Kate Ballam, John Dinsdale, Siobhan Cleary, Marie Brown, Shirley Peet, James Salter, Hima Joshi

In 2009 we are travelling to Tanzania for 2 weeks to take part in some voluntary work, helping to refurbish the Bukumbi care centre for Bridge2Aid.

Bridge2Aid (www.bridge2aid.org) is a registered charity operating dental and community development programmes in North West Tanzania.  It provides primary dental care and education whilst equipping and training local people as health care professionals.  As part of our commitment to the charity we intend to raise a minimum of £15,000 to help fund the refurbishment of the clinic/shelter.

All travel costs will be paid by us personally - leaving all donations on this page to go directly towards the project.

Please help us to reach our target - together we can put a smile on someone's face...

THANK YOU
