Nick Wilson has good memories of schooldays at a rural co-ed comprehensive in North Yorkshire. Geography was a favourite subject, taught by a small Irish lady with a certain style who pushed her pupils quite hard. Nick subsequently went on to read Geography and Anthropology at Durham University.

With a passion for travel, Nick joined VSO in Nigeria where he taught for two years at a school with 400 pupils. With just 6 staff members initially, this was a daunting prospect and a steep learning curve, which brought considerable responsibility. 

Dorothy Nancekievill’s childhood memories are filled with music.  From solo to Chamber music, Gilbert & Sullivan and contemporary, she was immersed in every genre.
