Introduction to the 2016 Team

Claire McDonnell

Hi my name is Claire and along with some other members of this years team I attend St Andrews Church, Biggleswade and will be travelling the  to South Africa.

I currently work as a music teacher at Northampton School for Boys.

This will be my second trip to South Africa with Hands at Work. Last years trip with 'The Room' was so rewarding and helped me to grow and develop my own faith as well as helping our young people along their journey of faith.

I wanted to do more to help, we became advocates of Hands within our church and the wide community. We also volunteered to Hands Uk to help spread the message of Hands in the UK, and were asked to join the Core Team.

This year I am excited to be embarking on this new adventure together with a new team and again sharing God's love with the communities that we will meet. I hope and pray that our team will again learn so much from these communities and that we can make a difference to there lives, even by the tiniest amount, by the care and compassion we are all prepared to give, and by the love that God has taught us.
