Easter Greetings to our friends and supporters
The photograph shows a mural which is behind the altar at Sitima Parish Church. It was created by Geraldine, a volunteer who spent her time in Sitima developing beautiful murals within the church and also at the clinic
Geraldine and Nigel each came with specific skills, Geraldine an artist and Nigel a horticulturalist although they undertook any tasks as required within the village.
If you think you could maybe benefit the wonderful people and community around Sitima please get in touch. Some volunteers stay for two weeks and others for longer, occasionally for as long as a year although the average stay is around 4 – 6 weeks.
