Our very well-attended and entertaining Quiz built around Oxford’s twin towns has raised £604 net. This money has now been sent to Nuevas Esperanzas for the bee keeping project, which helps poor small farmers in remote communities around León to diversify their income and also benefits the environment and is part of an agroecology project. There are five apiaries across four communities with a total of 68 hives and 48 beekeepers, producing 871kg of honey during the year.

A big thank you to all who supported the Quiz!

The next meeting of the Oxford León Association and Trust will be on  Thursday 7 November at 7.45 at The Town Hall.  Please note this is a change of date from that previously advised.  This is so that Gioconda from NECAT (Nicaragua Education, Culture and Arts Trust) can give us a brief talk after the AGM about her work for NECAT and life in León.  We are starting at 7.45 as there is an event by Oxford International Links to promote the 8 Twinning Links of Oxford at the Town Hall 6pm – 8pm.  Please come along to support us on our OLAT stall!
