Bees Abroad Welcome Day

Sunday 21st MARCH 2010 10.00am – 4.00pm

National Beekeeping Centre, Stoneleigh Park, Kenilworth CV8 2LG.

  • Have you ever wanted to put your skills to a greater use?
  • Are you interested in helping people in poorer countries to learn a skill that can give them a living?
  • Could you spare a little time to help Bees Abroad with their work?
  • Want to know more?

Seven years after the media hype to Make Poverty History - poverty is still alive and well. Could you help Bees Abroad with our dream to make the world a little better? For the last 10 years Bees Abroad have been beavering away quietly. Bees Abroad work in a very hands-on way with a variety of projects in developing countries. We help to set up businesses and market honey as well as training beekeepers. We also spend a lot of time raising funds for our projects. All of this takes a lot of effort but Bees Abroad works on the principle that a shared load is a lighter load.

We realise we have been too modest about our achievements. Bees Abroad need more help in all areas of our work. So we will be holding a Welcome Day for potential volunteers to come along, at no obligation, to learn more about Bees Abroad and its projects. Meet those involved and talk about sustainable beekeeping and how you can help in ways, big and small. Bees Abroad could find you a satisfying role that will suit your time and skills that will also help others to help themselves or just come and talk to us about your ideas.

The one-day event will consist of seminars and discussions. Topics will include:

  • Creating a sustainable beekeeping project
  • The work we do abroad
  • The work we do at home
