Our Volunteers
BACE has an amazing team of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds who support the charity with either fundraising and/or travelling out with us to support the physical building work. It is our aim to explore specific volunteer programmes for individuals who can offer a wide range of skills, initiative, and energy to help us progress with our projects within the Bonsa Community.
All of the Trustees and Volunteers pay for their own travel, food and accommodation each trip. Here are just some of their stories:

Children between the age of 3 and 7 could not safely walk the 5 miles across rough country to the nearest school. -

Richard Collier-Keywood
I volunteered with BACE for the first time in 2012 in helping to build Favour Nursery School and was really proud of what we accomplished. However, when we were there it became clear that this area has no effective medical care.
