In July this year Christopher has been accepted to take part in a charity expedition to Tanzania. His school sixth form will be teaming up with the charity The Grassroots Trust and they will be heading off for 10 days to assist hands on in the aid programme they deliver in the small village of Mbeya.

The group of 24 seventeen year olds will be spending time with local families and children, supporting the milk and feeding program and delivering chickens to help families be more self sufficient. The Grassroots do a much better job of explaining their history then I have here and you can read for yourself about the work they do on their website ..... www.grassroots.org.uk.

I can assure you this will be no 'holiday' for those students going but, as other visits have proved, this trip proves invaluable to the charity to help them deliver their work and also serves to open the eyes and minds of 17 year olds just starting out in life.

Thank you so much for any support you can give Christopher.
