Story
Hertfordshire Scouts are sending an expedition to Swaziland in 2018 to work on 2 community projects. In addition to completing the building and fit out of a Community Centre, they hope to fill a 40' container with essentials (decorating materials, computers, sewing machines, sports kits, library books etc...) and convert for building use once on site.
The Centre will bring the outside world to a village that is currently 2 hours away from the internet, meaning there are limited opportunities to understand the wider world.
As well as the educational opportunities, the Centre will provide recreational facilities and it will run a soup kitchen, ensuring the youngest get one hot meal a day.
This is the brainchild and passion of one Swazi Scout, who has been working with Hertfordshire Scouts over a number of years. The end is very near and this expedition will greatly help bring it to a finish.
