THE heroes, heroines and villains of East Hagbourne are helping raise money to equip a hospital and schools in Liuli, Tanzania.

The fun event, consisting of 25 specially-created scarecrows scattered around the village, followed the heroes, heroines and villains theme of the church fete and attracted a lot of attention at the weekend.

The event continues this weekend.

The Tanzanian hospital is on the shores of Lake Nyasa and East Hagbourne has been raising money to keep it running for the last decade. Money this time goes to provide more solar panels so the hospital has 24-hour electricity.

The community is also sending out items to equip the many schools being created around the hospital.

Organiser Mary Harrison said a new container of equipment was set to go out later this month and she would welcome anything such as school equipment, hand tools, clothing, plastic cutlery, sheets and blankets to be included. She can be contacted on 01235 813826.
