A big thank you to all those who donated to Friends of Lindi in memory of our Trustee Matt Green following his sad death in August 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so pleased to report that with such a generous amount of money donated we were able to organise the re-surfacing and painting of the community basketball court in Lindi. It now looks amazing and is being enjoyed by many young men and women in the town. We visited in November 2022 to see the finished court and spoke to the volunteer coaches who have ambitious plans to build a strong team for young men and women in the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
