Staff and students at St Peters Anglican Primary School Campbelltown Australia have a partnership with Intumbane Primary School South Africa and are currently raising funds to build a library for their 800 Zulu friends in South Africa. At a recent fete and a secret item was announced at the end of the auction which was bidding to have the right to throw the ball at the dunking apparatus to have the Headmaster dunked.
Headmaster Stephen Bomford has promoted the partnership with his school and been very enthusiastic about his students understanding that their world extends beyond the comfortable lives they live. This partnership has brought a global understanding of poverty to children as young as kindergarten who are learning of their privileged status in the world. The video shows just how mad everyone at St Peters is about Africa!

I retired from overseas relief and development in April 2022 and then spent six months in Tanzania working in Musoma as a volunteerassisting the Anglican bishop. I am assisting with capacity building across various areas of the diocese. In 2023 I led a tour of 18 Australians who visited and observed the work of the church in the Mara Region - three dioceses - Mara, Tarime and Rorya.
