Terrific to meet the UK team from @africasGift before they head to Malealea to help with an innovative cooking solution led by women that could free up so much time and effort especially in rural homes in Lesotho.

Great to catch up with Ken Dunn from @africasGift to congratulate him on being awarded an MBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours list, for his work in #Lesotho and elsewhere in Africa. And to learn more about his new eco cook-bag made locally with #recycled materials.

RIP Archbishop Desmond Tutu. What an example he was to us all - he had immense courage and his words and actions remind us - we must not turn a blind eye to injustice - for we are responsible for our inactions as much as our actions.
