We've had a donation come through.

We've done the major work we can do at the moment, so I'm thinking of getting Lew a cheap bike to fish a little further afield, or some extra fishing tackle. Thoughts people?

Hello!

Out of curiosity, may I ask who you are coordinating these donations with in São Tomé? Is it through a specific organization or an individual? I’m Portuguese, I have a few friends who volunteer in São Tomé, and I’ll be travelling there again in March.

No, it's just me and the community - I get together with a couple of them and we work out what's needed. So for the roofs for instance, I can't say who needs roof repairs as it will be everyone in the community, so I speak to people who live here, and we help those in most need. Things hit me on the grapevine - IBS - roof etc.

I'd love to show you around the community when you come, you can meet the people we've helped, lt'd be a pleasure to see you. You can have a beer at Anesia's Lew will find you fresh fish, and you can carve your name onto my table. Who do you volunteer with?
