Volunteer Testimonials
"Within hours of being in Bonsa I knew that I would like to give something to show my appreciation, gratitude and support for the fantastic work that you all do and BACE does."- Lucy Garrett, Volunteer
"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."- Richard Collier-Keywood CBE, Volunteer
