STONYHURST pupil Isobel Bidwell has just spent her summer holiday in Kenya - helping to build a refuge and education centre for young orphaned girls in a con­ flict-torn area of the country. Isobel (17), who lives in H u r s t Green,


helped to dig out the foundations for the building and learned how to make bricks


by hand. Former college pupil Alister Coates (18)


is the driiring force behind th e project and pims to raise about £20,000 to provide education, shelter and p ro te c t io n from forced marriages for 30 girls, aged from six. The centre as a whole will educate around 300 young people a t any o t ic


of the work. They are denied education and married off yoimg in exchange for ani-


mals. The area borders conflict-tom Ethiopia . •


and Sudan and girls are particularly vul­ nerable as th ey often lose parents and fam­


ilies as a result of the strife. Isobel spent some time talking to girls a t

Lokitaung town. Here, in poverty-stricken, semi-desert,

lucky I am. "I would like to return to do some more


work on th e project bu t ■will have to save up as we have to pay for our own flights." Alister, of Whitton, Twickenham, was


inspired to support the project after listen­ ing to missionary Fr Albert Salvens of St Paul th e Apostle, whose ta lk a t Stony- hurst’s Centenaries Theatre was organised
