Introduction to the 2016 Team

VIVIENNE GAYFER

My name is Vivienne and I have attended St Andrews Church, Biggleswade, my whole life.

I feel so fortunate in both my Church and my family life that I really welcome the opportunity to experience God's love and maybe make a contribution to His work (however small) in a completely different setting.

I enjoy being part of a team so am looking forward to that aspect of the trip also.

Introduction to the 2016 team

SARAH AKROYD

Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in Flitwick, Bedfordshire. I have three children aged 10, 8 and 6 and currently work as a Clerk in education.As a child I attended St Andrew’s Church and have fond memories of my time working through the various youth groups.I’m really looking forward to travelling to South Africa in the summer with the rest of the group. For me this will be a personal challenge as I will have to leave my own children behind, however, I feel that the experiences I gain will enable me to teach them about different cultures and, most importantly, the gift of ‘giving’ to others.  I am hoping that by being a parent myself I will be able to offer support to those caring for the vulnerable children we will have the privilege to meet.
