The Health Improvement Board (HIB) of COEJ are sending volunteers to East Africa where voluntary work will be carried out at various charitable centres. This will include working in schools, orphanages and hospitals.

Although the volunteers are helping out at the centres we wanted to make a more long-term impact and hence are very keen to raise some money for these centres that are so desperate for it. This money will go towards medicines for the children at the schools and orphanages who do not usually have access to it. It will also go towards the day to day running of these organisations. Money raised will  also go towards chemotherapy treatment for ill cancer patients and for transport to allow them to visit their families. Any donation really will make such a huge difference so we would be extremely grateful for anything you can donate.
