Service Project to South Africa (Artist in Residence)

My connection with this project was through my daughter Jenny Wilkinson. She is the main volunteer leader for Urban Saints in Runcorn, Cheshire and her husband Luke is Runcorn Young Life Area Director. For a few years now she’d been suggesting that I accompany her on one of the organisations’ overseas Service Project house building trips. I agreed on condition that I could participate as Expedition Artist or Artist in Residence rather than mix cement or unload bricks! It was on that basis that I raised the sponsorship from local businesses here in Ruthin in north Wales and from friends, colleagues and family to go to the Ebeneezer Care Centre, Grasmere, near Johannesburg, South Africa. The project took place from 3 -13 April 2009
