In mad panic to try and finish off everything as I leave for South Africa tonight. I am going to look at AIDS projects there. Several companies who have many employees with AIDS are funding these projects, and three MPs are going to see how this aspect of international development really works on the ground. Needless to say, having perused my wardrobe – I don’t think I will be suitably attired – but there ain’t no time to worry about that!

Hi LynnWhere will you be visiting in South Africa? We are in the process of setting up a home for abandoned babies in Empangeni, Kwa Zulu Natal and would love to chat to you if you are in the area.
MelanieI am back already. It was a manic three days really spent around Johannesburg with excursions to mines etc. I was not in Kwa Zulu Natal and sadly – not a minute was not filled with briefings or site visits etc. Your project sounds very, very worthwhile and if I do come your way at some point in the future – hopefully we can have that chat
