AN INTREPID group of explorers from Bala have set off to a remote Tanzanian village to help educate the locals.

 

Adrian and Hilary Murray from Christ Church, Bala, are returning to the village of Milo in Tanzania this August with two more young people from Bala.

 

Mael Evans will coach football to the Milo football team and children from the local primary school whereas Rhys Hughes from Llandderfel who, after a gap year at Coleg y Bala, will train as a primary school teacher.

 

They are joined by Kevin Simmons, an IT specialist who has lived and worked in Tanzania. He and Rhys will set up computers for staff and students in Milo primary school and train the teachers in IT.

 

In June, Hilary walked 118 miles of the River Dee from source to Talacre to help to raise funds for the IT project.
