SIR,

Hands Around The World is a small local charity which helps vulnerable children around the world, in partnership with local people and communities.

Many of the children are orphans of AIDS and very poor; most live in Africa.

Now, in partnership with Bridges Community Centre, we are seeking volunteers from the Monmouth area to spend a few weeks visiting and helping the Misthy Cee Development Centre, a children's project in Ghana.

There are opportunities to help with building, child care and teaching in 2012.

We are also looking for volunteers to help us in our office in Dingestow and, among others, need someone with book keeping experience.

For more details please get in touch with me on 01600 740317 or by email on [email protected]">[email protected]

More information about us and our work can be found on our website http://www.hatw.org.uk">www.hatw.org.uk

Thank you for your help.

Dr David Steiner

(Chief Executive, Hands Around The World)
