Our Trustee Jenny Cosgrave is stepping down from the Board of Trustees after 15 years. Jenny has managed to join us at most of our meetings, either virtually or in person, despite being based in Mexico and, more recently, The Netherlands. She first visited Kindwitwi when she was the CAFOD youth representative and spent two months living in the village helping the local team with their IT skills and teaching English. More recently in 2022 she visited with our Chairman Geoff, to evaluate the programme and strengthen our links with FRRTL. She has also produced our newsletter for many years.
In her final trustees meeting earlier this year, Jenny said:
“RLT has been a constant presence in my life as it has grown and evolved over the past 15 years. As I step away, I do so with immense pride and gratitude for all the experiences I’ve had along the way — from getting to know the people of Kindwitwi and playing a small part in their lives, to connecting with our incredible supporters here in the UK. Your dedication and commitment have been the driving force behind our ongoing connection with Tanzania, and Kindwitwi in particular.
I’d especially like to thank my fellow trustees, who so generously give their time and energy to carefully steward the funds entrusted to us. It’s been a true privilege to know you, work alongside you, and learn from you. Thank you!”
The Trustees wish Jenny all the best in her future endeavours and thank her for her long-standing commitment and contribution to the work of the Rufiji Leprosy Trust.
