A big thanks to all who supported our music night on the 15th November 2025.<\/h4>\n

We raised \u00a32,064 in total, which is amazing!<\/h4>\n

This will help our existing programmes in Lindi and also help us to start new ones.<\/h4>\n

Thank you, Steve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

After living and working in Lindi, South East Tanzania with VSO for 3 years Steve and Sue Scorer could not leave without continuing the help they had started to give to local people in need. Initially this was in the form of sponsoring two local children to attend the only English Medium Primary School in the town. With the help of friends and family this number has now grown to six. Other projects have followed as funds have been raised.<\/p>\n

As a registered charity we operate very efficiently, your donation will make a difference to children and adults in Lindi. We are driven and supported by volunteers and we pride ourselves on having personal contact with all those we assist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A right to be loved<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Working with Joy School Lindi we wanted to encourage the expansion of the curriculum beyond the rote learning of facts for examinations and tests. We asked for permission from Song Academy in London to use their music and lyrics of A Right to be Loved. Sue used her music teaching skills to form a choir with the teachers and teach the children in Joy School this song with very fitting lyrics \u2013 they sum up the lot of so many children in Tanzania. It was filmed by a friend, Philip Bornschleigel, a German paediatrician volunteering in Lindi. It features some of our sponsored children and also shows some of the daily routine in Lindi.<\/p>\n

Watch, listen and enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
