Local resident Alyson Heath is the Chair of Trustees of the charity, Education West Africa, and has visited schools in Sierra Leone several times. St Mary’s has a link to a school in Kenema in Bo Sierra Leone.
She says:
“Having been a Head teacher in West Sussex schools for sixteen years, I retired in 2015.
Whilst at my last school we forged strong links with Kenema School in Sierra Leone. Pupils from both schools regularly exchange letters. However it was not until a member of staff visited Kenema school and came back and told us all a bit more of these children’s life experiences that as a school we realised we could give so much more.
One photograph that will always stay with me was a child longingly looking into a classroom from the outside, so keen to attend school but their parents unable to afford to pay for a uniform.
It is an honour to play a small part in the work of EWA to enable more children to have an enriched educational life.”
