Last night I got the following email. Other then 'I'm really excited' reaction I think that we can start a discussion about this type of things. Sure we have priorities right next to us but Can we do something say, in Uganda? Why would we and how or how do we make it easier for others? (Reply here under or in comments) |
Dear duty bearers,
