Buchan young Salvationists team up to help Africans
Two north-east Salvation Army corps are teaming up to aid disabled children in Africa. Young Salvationists from Peterhead and Fraserburgh will fill a container with vital supplies and travel to Tanzania to refurbish a school which an Aberdeenshire woman helped to found nearly 30 years ago.Over the next few months they will be running a series of collections of everything from medical equipment to bed- linen and children's clothes. But they must raise £12,000 to cover freight costs and the variety of projects that the 20 young people will be working on at the Matumaini School of Hope in Dar es Salaam.
The late Chrissie Taylor, a primary school teacher and Peterhead Salvation Army member, was a key member of the church group which established the school in 1980.
It cares for around 200 children with serious disabilities, many of them amputees.
