2010.<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clive was welcomed by some 30 children who had dressed up in their school holidays with some teachers\u00a0 and villagers to wait by the river crossing to greet him. It was an emotional re-union. The books, pens, laptops and wind up lamps were distributed to the school the next day, not to mention the football boots (12 pairs), Footballs (Six), Cameras (two) basic medicines and children\u2019s clothes. HAC donated two wind up lamps to the maternity ward of the hospital in Grand Cess as they all too often fell back to candles when expensive fuel for them ran out.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clive also photographed the children with their photographs taken last year. This made matching names much easier. Many children ran straight home with the photo we gave them as often it was the first photo they had ever had.\u00a0 Basic computer lessons were carried out with the Microsoft office type products being a real hit. The laptops were kitted out with Rosetta Stone voice recognition and language software, spoken English is very useful for obtaining work. A solar charger as pictured was supplied for use with the laptops.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e0f548 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5e0f548\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30f1247 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"30f1247\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd303f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cd303f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2010<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e12f9dc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e12f9dc\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fda2907 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fda2907\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3859e50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3859e50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"986\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/helpachild.org.uk\/hac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/angela-catherine-walks.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4699\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpachild.org.uk\/hac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/angela-catherine-walks.png 986w, https:\/\/helpachild.org.uk\/hac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/angela-catherine-walks-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/helpachild.org.uk\/hac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/angela-catherine-walks-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 986px) 100vw, 986px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Catherine and Angela walking the Thames Path<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26eb670 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"26eb670\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87c6148 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"87c6148\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catherine and Angela walked the Thames Path this summer (approximately 180 miles) to raise money for our parish charity, Helpachild.
