Mo Shilliday, Associate

I was a Headteacher in West Sussex for ten years, and during that time had the privilege of accompanying Penelope and Rod on one of their visits to Sierra Leone. We visited several schools during the time I was there, but the highlight was definitely visiting my own sister school at Koiva. The whole village turned out to greet us, and the children's welcome was just amazing. That experience has remained with me ever since.

I am now retired, and living back in Northern Ireland, hence it is a real honour to be able to remain connected with EWA, and support the vital work they undertake to provide better education for the children of Sierra Leone.
