£15 “Sierra Leone – A Rotarian’s story” Alan Wolstencroft from Banbury RC
Alan first visited Sierra Leone in November 2005 as a volunteer member of Rotary Mission Challenge, working on a Mercy Ships project.
Rotarians were invited to volunteer with them & “spend 11 days in Sierra Leone and make a real difference”.
He thought it would be a “one off” life experience BUT it was life changing and he’s now visited the country 12 times.
On his second visit Alan saw the opportunity to work directly with a school, to fund a much-needed additional classroom.
Alan has supported 8 schools (to varying degrees), a Community football Club and several individuals.
Since January 2007, when he funded his first project, AlansAfrica has been adopted as a Banbury Rotary Club project and has resulted in the funding the building and equipping of 35 classrooms, 8 toilet blocks and 3 wells as well as many refurbishment projects. Over £315,000 has been raised.
We look forward to sharing experiences as Warwick RC has close links with Bo, Sierra Leone through “One World Link”.
