2019 Penkridge Community Team get set for South Africa

A small but committed group of people from the Penkridge area will be heading for South Africa on 16 August  to visit our charity partners Hands at Work in Africa (www.handsatwork.org)  and Mercy Air (www.mercyair.org) .

On the team we have (left to right)  Trudie, Richard, Libby, Daisy, Claire, Yasmine and Sophie
This is the place to find out about and follow their visit and you can also catch up with them and the remarkable people they will visit on Twitter (@link4liferw) and also on Facebook (search Link for Life Project) and Instagram (#linkforlife).


If you would like to pray for them and the people whilst they are on the visit you can download a prayer and information sheet here .  We'd be very grateful if you feel able to support us like this.

Whilst in South Africa they will visit the communities of Mafambisa, Share and Zwelisha  all of which are supported by Hands at Work, where orphaned and vulnerable children are cared for by remarkable care volunteers.  They will also visit the work of Mercy Air and some of the community projects which they are involved with.  Mercy Air fly good and people to remote parts of southern Africa but are also involved with care projects closer to their base in White River.


Also travelling with the team is Sam Westwood (not pictured) who will spend all his time with Mercy Air finding out about their medical and community health work.  The team will join him in the second week of their visit.

On behalf of all the team - thanks for your interest and prayers and we look forward to giving you more info soon. Richard Westwood
