\"\"<\/a>At our recent meeting we welcomed back local girl Libby who was the recipient of a one-off bursary from Wakefield Soroptimists towards the\u00a0costs of her travel to Tanzania to work with school children and in the local community doing building work and\u00a0environmental work. She travelled along with\u00a020 fellow school pupils and teachers\u00a0with Camps International\u00a0visiting Tanzanian\u00a0villages where they undertook manual work to support the people. During the trip Libby showed us how she had helped to \u201cplaster\u201d a 3-bedroomed house. She explained that this was to help a widow to remain in the house, having the option to rent out two of the rooms. She also helped to preserve a school building and made EPP, Elephant Poo Paper! \u2013 a sample of which was passed round along with other souvenirs of her visit.\u00a0 Our club was pleased that by enabling Libby to travel, both she and the community in Tanzania had benefited from the development\u00a0opportunity. Pictured below are some of the souvenirs Libby brought back with her which she showed to the club members as part of her talk. Following the presentation members asked questions and congratulated Libby on her presentation, and wished her well for the future.<\/p>\n
