• Bang for your buck

  October 28, 2010 // No Comments »

  About a decade ago I spent a year in the small nation of Burundi in central Africa. It was then, and remains now, a violent place. This short video (18 minutes) highlights the problem of grenade and gun violence on a desperately poor country. You can watch other films or vote for this one at http://www.shootingpoverty.org/

  My friend Simon Guillebaud is a constant source of challenge to me in the best possible way. Spend four minutes of your life watching this and it should speak to you more than most other things you’ll do today.

  I spent a year of my life working in Burundi with Tearfund nearly 10 years ago now, but the country still has a place in my heart. The BBC have a set of photos as some of the last remaining refugees from Tanzania return home. Have a look

  Support either Simon Guillebaud and Glo or Tearfund
