On two Saturdays in September our members banded together to undertake a leaflet drop, (1st<\/sup> Saturday) followed by a collection, (3rd<\/sup> Saturday) in aid of Tools for Self-Reliance Cymru.\u00a0 One of our clubs ongoing charity link projects.<\/p>\n

Tools for Self-Reliance is a UK-based charitable organisation that works to empower artisans and tradespeople in developing countries, such as Africa.\u00a0 It does this by providing them with tools, skills, and training. The charity was founded in 1979 and operates on the principle that;<\/p>\n

poverty can be tackled more effectively by supporting people to help themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our collection drive was Headed by Phil Pope the charities workshop supervisor and equipment maintenance specialist, (and all-round hard worker).\u00a0 Our members collected a huge van load of old tools, sewing machines, textiles etc.\u00a0 The items will be refurbished and utilised in one of two ways.\u00a0 Most are sent on to start new lives in Africa becoming vital parts of the communities.\u00a0 Occasionally, those that are not appropriate for sending, such as electric lawnmowers are sold.\u00a0 \u00a0The money raised from these is then used to cover shipping costs or additional projects.\u00a0 One of the charities current projects is to build a workshop in Kalwande.\u00a0 Hopefully this workshop can refurbish tools and help to train locals.<\/p>\n

Tools for Self-Reliance Cymru is one of our Club\u2019s focus Projects and we look forward to our annual collection drive\u2019s.\u00a0 If you would like to know more about Tools for Self-reliance Cymru please follow the link;<\/p>\n
