“This is community cohesion at its best – bringing together school communities in Sheffield and Barnsley with the community of Malealea. Developing environmental programmes in this remote village will develop self – reliance for that community, and develop understanding, tolerance and friendships across continents. This kind of practical help is what Africa needs from us, and this kind of relationship is what our young people need to understand that international development is the responsibility of us all.”
