Alan Wolstencroft, Banbury Rotarian

In 2005 I attended a Rotary presentation about a Charity in Sierra Leone but little did I know then that a 10 minute presentation would change my life!! Rotarians were given the opportunity to volunteer as part of “Rotary Mission Challenge” to Freetown and “spend 11 days in Sierra Leone and make a real difference”.

I had been a Rotarian for 18 months BUT joined a team to build the Rotary Hostel of Hope at the Aberdeen West Africa Fistula Clinic – the rest as they say is history. During my first visit I saw the opportunity to help communities in Freetown and decided I could “make a real difference” personally.

I went to Sierra Leone believing it would be a “one off” life experience but I didn’t realise that it would be life changing for me. I have now visited Sierra Leone 11 times

The website hopefully gives you an insight into “my story” – I hope you enjoy learning more about my work.
