Msizi Africa - charity run by a YOB

[Great Plum]

A contemporary of mine at CH, Lucy Cazlon runs a charity helping African childfren http://www.msiziafrica.org.uk/

She has done so much work for these children and it is great to see her work being promoted in many different places... Please see this article from today's News of the World: http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/fabulou ... ldren.html

With a bit of luck, she will do something for the next issue of the Old Blue, as she replied thus:

Hi John,

Thank you so much for getting back to me and for your tips on Kilimanjaro! It's great that you would like to do an article so can I ask you what the next step is?

I really appreciate your interest.

Best wishes,
Lucy Caslon

She was about to climb Kilimanjaro.

Yes she's off soon...

I'm sure she will write you a wonderful piece for the OB - she has a fantastic way with written words!

(Dad will be proud to tell you that she also went to the same primary school as him!)

This is an odd coincidence - I just heard about another OB raising money for African children.

Alex Matthews (contemporary of my sister, younger brother of Juliana (my contemporary) and my Godson) has just founded the Needy Children & Orphans Foundation in Australia, specifically to help children in Mwendo, Uganda. There are more details on the facebook page and website below.

Good Luck to Lucy & to Alex.
