Vicky Smith, Trustee

A few years ago, I went on my first mission trip to Africa and it was an eye-opening and transformational experience. A couple of years later I was able to join a team from a church in Singapore on a mission trip to India. It was here that I began to appreciate the vital and important change that small charities make to the lives of others.

I started work at St Mary’s School, which I knew had a long association with EWA especially with its link school in Kenema. It was humbling to see the impact that EWA has on the lives of so many children, so I asked if I could join the team of trustees.

My whole working career has been centred around education, and it is a privilege to see the impact education has on the lives of so many young people, both in the UK and abroad.
