CHILDREN are heading for violence-racked Zimbabwe to improve their English.
The party of primary school pupils and teachers from three Liverpool schools are due to fly out to the volatile country for a “life-changing” trip in November.
The eight children, aged 10 and 11, who attend St Cleopas, in Dingle, St Hugh’s, in Wavertree and St Patrick’s, in Toxteth, are due to spend a week lodging at a boarding school in Marondera, an hour away from the capital, Harare.
Until March, the cholera-hit country was a Foreign Office no-go zone for tourists.
The visit complements the British Council’s Connecting Classrooms project, which the three schools are signed up to.
Three Nigerian pupils and nine from Zimbabwe visited Liverpool earlier this year.
