The Coopers are three generations of a family travelling through Africa northwards from Cape Town in South Africa before making their way back to their home in Dorset.
We received an email from them in March, giving some information about themselves and their project.

“The journey will commence in August.
Our family own and run a field study business in Hooke in Dorset. Through the business we have contacts with many schools in the UK and we hope to link some of them with children’s projects operating along the route we shall be travelling.


Josphat says:
“We are excited with the Cooper family visit. They paid our electricity bill worth KES22,000, water bill worth KES15,000, bought 20 bags of maize and 5 bags of beans worth KES92,000 and donated balls, pencils, tricycles, ropes and hoops.
They are also sponsoring two children and paid their fees for two terms
The school is deeply grateful for the donation.”
The visit sounds very successful.
We would like to give our thanks to the Cooper family for their wonderful idea and to the donor schools and pupils for their generosity.
