Every cloud of ash has a silver lining

Simon Morley - Sunday, May 09, 2010

Up at 6am on a Sunday morning to collect Greg who's visiting us from Zambia to learn the wicked ways of the west.

He's already had to postpone his trip after the cloud of ash interfered with his flights. With the closure of some airports in Europe, as the cloud spilled over again, he's lucky to have made it!

Landing in Zambia last year, I felt as though I'd been dropped in a bath of cold water (metaphorically not physically - it was quite hot over there). The change of culture and environment will be nothing but challenging for Greg but that's the whole point of his trip. He's here to learn how we work so he can help advance parts of rural Africa.
