Bulembu 2010
This summer a group of students, teachers and youth workers from the Fleet area will be heading to Bulembu in southern Africa. Their aim will be to learn, engage and give in partnership with the community of Bulembu.
They'll do this by engaging relevantly with the community of Bulembu while pioneering a potential new long-term partnership between Bulembu and the agencies involved.
