A KIND-hearted Clearwell teenager is fronting a campaign to improve the education for children in a deprived region of Zimbabwe.

Fourteen-year-old Chris Tang, a pupil at Monmouth School for Boys, teamed-up with Charlie Walker, the former Head of School, to support The Hwange Schools Project.

Six suitcases of toys, 65 geography books from Monmouth School for Girls and thousands of pens, pencils and pencil cases together with educational posters, were among the donations.

Chris and his family also collected £1,800 which has gone towards the provision of desks and chairs for early learning classrooms in the region.
