In October 2004 our Garden Club, which consists of Church Members and members of Tindall Street Allotment Society, launched an international link with Burkina Faso, a community in West Africa.The link was formed to find out how the Delwende community could be helped and to learn about their lives. We are interested in finding out how they grow their vegetables, which they need to live, whilst for us it is a hobby. In November 2004 we had a visit from Sougriyide Sawadogo, who is the Burkina Faso link officer. The photographs show Sougriyide with Church members and members of the Allotment Society at the allotments and at church.
