HOW CAN YOU HELP?

|
If you wish to make a greater commitment to this work, then there may be the opportunity to join the Committee, talk to groups interested in fund raising, and join the Project Team on one of their visits to Nigeria. This could suit someone with previous experience in Nigeria who feels called to this form of service. For more information contact Dr David Cundall.
