Testimonials

Read about what some of our clients, partners and others have said about our work.

"Excellent exhibition! Well thought out.  Children involved right away.  Extremely worthwhile since children have very little idea of the role of British ethnic minorities either today or in the past."
Holy Cross RC Primary School on the We Were There exhibition.

"You can tell that AHEC projects make a big difference - they give young people confidence.  Some young people come here knowing nothing about their roots - AHEC's work teaches them about the tribes, the symbols - even the language of their origins.  The projects make them confident to express themselves in front of their classmates."
Akosua Achiaa Owusu Ansah, AHEC Volunteer

"I think that there is a lot of negativity about the black community, but AHEC have a very positive attitude, and are committed to promoting understanding and changing people's perceptions.
"They don't just tell you what to do to change things, they ask you for your input - and that's what I think is important.  I am very happy with the services they provide!"
Mr Abdi Salad, AHEC client

"AHEC is one of our members - we've worked very closely together, and have given AHEC lots of fundraising advice.  AHEC has been a strong supporter of our work, and we were proud to have Christine Borsah, the Director, as one of our case studies at our AGM, to show the huge benefits working with a Council for Voluntary Services can bring."
Barbara Bishop, Voluntary Action Waltham Forest

"It was a pleasure to visit AHEC's offices and learn about all the great work Christine and her colleagues are doing in the local community. AHEC has a valuable role to play in educating people of all ages and backgrounds about African culture, as well as providing a support network for people of African origin.
“I look forward to working with AHEC more in the future!"
Cllr Chris Robbins, Cllr for Children and Young People, Waltham Forest Borough Council

“Our link with AHEC has provided an opportunity for children of all communities and backgrounds to explore and understand many aspects of African culture and tradition and apply that understanding to questions of purpose and identity in their own lives and those of their friends.
“This has helped to promote both individual and collective self esteem as well as to have a positive effect on community cohesion. It has been as important for our students with European and Asian Heritage as it has been for those with African and mixed heritage.”
Martin Spafford, George Mitchell School, Waltham Forest
