Getting to work in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia! Lovely people and amazing opportunities to make a difference - I'm developing them into projects for people keen to donate and get involved.

Don’t you love it when … you overlook something simple, turn up with not a penny in your pocket but then … a good friend picks you up at the airport, another wires a cash donation from Hong Kong to a UK bank while you’re on the plane and yet another friend has a phone and public transport card sitting waiting for you when you knock at the door! In every detail I’m feeling very looked after from above!
More good meetings in Britain this week with international aid agencies, and transnational companies. With perfect timing, three of the Microsoft staff who built a computer laboratory in Nepal just over a year ago were in Reading this week so I have now video interviewed each of them!
It's been a great start to the trip already - a productive round of meetings in Hong Kong this week, including with teachers at Harrow International School. And more of you than ever before have been moved to make donations - thank you!
