The Zawadi team comprises of 5 members, 4 St Aidans Students and 1 devoted member of St Aidans Staff.
Here is a bit more information on what the role of each member of Zawadi undertakes, and a small amount of information about themselves.
Name: Abbey Walters

Role in Zawadi: Liaise with local businesses, keep the minutes of our meetings and define each member’s specific jobs and help design and drive our publicity campaigns. I also liaise with Andy and Susie Hart and, aside from keeping them up to date with Zawadi news, I attain what the couple need to buy in order to best help their disabled employees.
About yourself: I have been dancing since I was 9 years old and thoroughly enjoy it - especially street jazz!! Over the weekends and holidays I work at Bettys in Harrogate with lots of hilarious people and also run a dance business called 'Crazy Bop'! Zawadi is such an amazing project to be involved with, and the people I have met through it, either from Tanzania or here in England are so inspirational.
