Our involvement in 2010

We will be building a primary school building for the village of Ndiadzo, on the Mozambique border. It will offer room to teach the 6-700 pupils currently being taught outdoors or in makeshift huts. The village want permanent school buildings and have done their best, baking local bricks. But they have no money to buy cement and steel for a permanent structure. We will be spending most of our time hard at work on the building site, to provide them a school building as quickly as possible. When it is finished the local church will provide teachers.

When you are helping on the building site, you will visit and support a number of other projects run in the village, including teaching, healthcare and evangelism.

While you are there you will stay with a local family in their thatched hut – this really is ‘full immersion’ in another culture.

An “Xtreme Teams” Mission

"Xtreme Teams" differ from our usual trips – effectively you will be ‘going native’ for most of the fortnight: you will be sleeping in a mud hut like the villagers at Ndiadzo. There are no close medical facilities and there are only limited opportunities for visiting other projects. However you will be living and working closely with the local people, building close ties of friendship and making a huge difference over the two weeks.

Sunsets and Safaris

Although you will be working hard, there will be a chance to explore the beautiful unspoiled Southern African landscape. Be prepared to spot lions, zebra, rhino and ostriches - don't worry: we will keep you safe! And if you haven't seen a Zimbabwe sunset, well you just haven't seen a sunset at all...
