Countdown to Africa

     Well Christmas is over and a week from now I shall be in South Africa or even winging it on to Windhoek.  I have had more good news from Johannesburg firming up my visit to Oasis Projects and a warm invitation from the  Principal of the Bible College at Chizela (now Mufumbwe) in Zambia - the area where I worked on a Rural Development Team from 1969 to 1972.   I have been given a contact in Zimbabwe at a centre for research and development in organic farming for small farmers.  It sounds exciting and I am hoping a visit there will be possible en route for Livingstone.
     On the personal side some of my extended family came to me for Christmas - busy but fun. On Boxing Day I took my my daughter to Heathrow to fly to Bangkok.  A 300 mile round trip navigated safely was an answer to prayers, and now she is on a beach somewhere a lot warmer.  Writing this blog and organising the travel and appeal is a serious learning curve for me so please bear with me.  Please some of you cheer me up by making a few donations however small!  Ok you are hard up after Christmas but give now before VAT goes up!!  Make a thank offering for keeping theAshes (or a Sympathy Gesture for all Sad Australians)!!!
