Kinshasa Music

In Kinshasa I met up with Mark Nunn and Joe Herrmann recording Ocean de la Clef, a band of young super-talented Kinois, working on a CD addressing various social issues for Christian AID. We collaborated for an afternoon and this is what we came up with. The song is SAVE, and talks about using condoms, but also about general access to medical care to know your status, take your meds and general watch out for yourself. Enjoy the music!

Ireland's Dustin the Turkey visits South Africa

Household name Dustin the Turkey visited South Africa from Ireland to investigate Early Childhood Development in KwaZuluNatal. The ECD programme of the LETCEE NGO is being used as a best model practice by UNICEF. This was good fun - the kids loved Dustin and KwazuluNatal is breathtaking!
