We're doing more and more in Tanzania, and the work is growing! So we're delighted to have some new Exec Committee members. After saying a sad goodbye to a few people in 2010 (Maggie retired after many years' excellent work, and Sharon and Fred left to prepare for having twins, after doing a huge amount to move the charity onto the next stage) we really needed some more hands.
Alison Bissett - see previous entry about the lockers - has kindly agreed to be our liaison person in Dar-es-Salaam itself. It makes a huge difference to have someone on the ground, and she's already being a huge help.
Susan Pym went to Tanzania last year as part of the St Colomba's work party, which renovated the girls' dormitory and made it a lovely place to stay. She fell in love with the school, even with having to clean loos, and we are looking forward to using her non-housework talents!

I can put up a picture of the loo-cleaning if I get any special requests for this....
We also have two new "Appointed Members", who will represent Mary Hare School. More on this in the next article.
Thanks very much to our new Committee members for all that they've already done, and will do.
