Hi all,
Some of you will remember that I went to Sierra Leone over Easter and, indeed, some of you were kind enough to contribute towards it. We had a debrief day last weekend, involving all 5 teams that went out between December and May, as well as the permanent team out there.
I've received this update and I thought some of you might be interested.
We went out to Sierra Leone to...
...build a new rehabilitation home for St George Street Kids at Grafton.
What also happened...
