A TALK is being held to raise awareness of projects in Namibia.
The Catherine Bullen Foundation is hosting the event called A Namibian Journey.
It will feature photos and stories of the charity's work.
The Catherine Bullen Foundation was set up in memory of its namesake, a medical student at Bristol University who previously studied at Colchester County High School for Girls.
In August 2002, aged 22, she fell ill with severe gastroenteritis, which proved fatal.
Her parents Linda and Roger Bullen, of West Mersea, are trustees of the foundation.
The event will be held at the MICA Centre in Mersea today at 7pm.
Tickets are £10 each from the MICA Centre.
There will also be live Namibian music, a raffle, auction and bar, with all proceeds doing to the foundation.
