WIGAN'S twin town is inviting a local volunteer to take part in a Mali adventure of a lifetime.
Angers in the Loire Valley is twinned with the West African state's capital, Bamako, and every year representatives from five twin towns Wigan, Haarlem, Pisa,Osnabruck and Bamako spend their mornings at a workcamp helping with development projects, constructing schools, libraries and hospitals. Afternoons are free.
The camp lasts for four weeks in August. Volunteers, aged between 18 and 30, who will have to pay their own way should apply before the end of May to the Anger ambassadress in Wigan, Nadege Pave, on 828175.
