Mark Fair with President David

At our Club Meeting on the 17th January 2014 we were delighted to welcome Mark Fair the Bursary Winner for 2012.

Mark had returned after spending a year teaching in a primary school in Guyana.

The School he taught in was in the middle of dense forest many miles from developed parts of Guyana. Facilities were  very basic and the small village was little changed by the modern world.

Mark gave us a very interesting powerpoint presentation
