Missions
The annual mission to Africa is primarily for lawyers and their spouses and normally takes place in the autumn. It involves encouraging and promoting the project on the ground with some occasional training and client work. Sometimes we are able to obtain access for team members to a prison, so that you may see first hand the nature of the problem. It will usually involve a visit to court and/or participation in a rural education seminar. It will give you first hand knowledge to relay on your return.
