Acting president Pat Caulton with guest speaker Lucy Swanbrow, seated<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

CLUB members were given a talk about Tanzania by a local woman who has an unusual passion \u2013 for rubbish.<\/p>\n

Lucy Swanbrow\u00a0spoke eloquently about a number of environmental projects she had been involved in that were being carried out by Project Takataka, Kswahilli for rubbish.<\/p>\n

She\u00a0explained that she first visited Tanzania to see her father\u2019s cousin Faye Cran. She fell in love with the country and has consequently been back for several three-month spells and became involved in many charitable projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cTanzania has fantastic landscapes, wildlife and flora and the people are very friendly,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But rubbish is everywhere, roads and rivers are clogged with detritus,\u00a0the locals\u00a0just drop their rubbish as they go. Trying to change this is a Herculean task.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a country of extreme contrasts between luxury hotels and extremely poor rural areas where people are lucky to get one meal a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Education is highly valued and it costs 2-300 US dollars a year to go to school.<\/p>\n

Her fundraising ideas can sometimes be very novel. She has held a \u2018knicker\u2019 party where the entrance fee was a pair of knickers and through this event she was able to take 500 pairs of the underwear to give to girls at a rural secondary school supported by Project Takataka.<\/p>\n

The African Girls Sanitation Project aims to provide sanitary products for girls who might otherwise miss up to six days schooling every month.<\/p>\n

They also plan to build a toilet block for the girls that will cost \u00a35,000 and an incinerator to dispose of the waste to stop pollution of the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

On June 14 from 12 noon Project Takataka will be selling a wide variety of handicrafts and home made cakes at Sarisbury Green fete to try to raise funds for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome along and have all your gift needs sorted out,\u201d said Lucy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
