Introduction:

“My name is Judith Burnett. I work at Cambridge House Community College in Valencia, Spain and I teach Year 2. I have done this job for many years now except for 4 years ago when I took some time out to work as a volunteer for the British Volunteer Organisation VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) in the Far North of Cameroon."

Judith Burnett
"Cameroon is a very beautiful country but some parts of it are very poor. The area I worked in one of those areas. On my return I sought the support of my school, friends and family to find funding for the construction and running costs of a small rural school in Gouria in the Kapsiki mountains."
"Malima Primary School has been open for 4 years now and is going from strength to strength. I visit every year and have kept sponsors up to date with the progress made."

"In August 2004 I will be taking up another Placement with VSO working at Malima supporting the teaching staff of our school and other local schools."
