Kathleen Harding - who now lives in Tanzanier, flew to the UK to join in with the commemoration celebrations.
The church was beautifully decorated with flowers in the yellow/gold spectrum, to highlight Africa's sunshine - and the whole ethos of this charity - which is to send to some of Africa's poorest people, caste-offs from our own affluent society.
This delightful little tableaux shows just some of the goods that have been collected and sent to Africa over the years. From toothbrushes, clothing, school equipment, bikes, foodstuffs to rusty garden equipment. Just about anything and everything is gratefully received and sent to Africa - most recently to Zimbabwe.
Kath spoke most eloquently on how she envisioned the charity, and how it grew and blossomed into the wonderful organisation it now is.
After the service of Thanksgiving - a most welcome tea was laid on in the Village Hall.
Husband Mike videoed the how event - and I was asked to photograph it!
