Group of CONTESA supporters will be travelling to Zambia to visit the projects funded by all their hard work.
- (1888PressRelease) July 03, 2010 - CONTESA a UK registered charity that supports Aids orphans in Zambia, has today announced that a group of CONTESA supporters, led by trustees Dr. Margaret McDermott and Mrs Rosemary Stanbury, will arrive on an official visit in Zambia to visit CONTESA's funded projects.
The group of 17, who will arrive on 3rd July 2010 for a 3 week visit, includes leaders and members from the Bournemouth Boys Brigade and Basingstoke Girls Brigade and Rev Geoff Fletcher and his daughter Kathryn. The group will start their visit with a short trip to the Luangwa Game Park in the Eastern Province and from there will drive to Chipata to visit the newly completed CONTESA Chislehurst School Block at Muchule School, Chatama Village.
The group will travel onto Kabwe where the Group will visit CONTESA feeding, educational & outreach programmes and also where the Bournemouth Boys Brigade and Basingstoke Girls Brigade will work to help complete the building of a hairdressing salon/barbers shop that will be run by the Kabwe Boys & Girls Brigades to become an income generating and training project for them.
The CONTESA spokesman explained why this visit is so important to CONTESA, "this is the trip of a lifetime for the younger members of the group, as they will be involved in CONTESA programmes & projects and in the completion of the Kabwe building project & will interact with the orphans & disadvantaged children". The spokesman added "CONTESA provides hope to so many orphaned & disadvantaged children in Zambia whilst visits such as these not only enrich the life experiences of the people in the CONTESA Group but also give the opportunity for partner organisations & orphans to personally interact with CONTESA trustees & supporters." He further added that "this is the very essence of why CONTESA was set up".
