Hello from Mumbo
Some of you have been asking how Mumbo is getting on. He´s had a busy few weeks and is having a rest this weekend, so he´d like me to let you know that he´s settling in very well.

Hi Hazel! Just been catching up with your blog - fantastic photos: it's amazing that with so much poverty, that everyone has great big grins on their faces. That, I guess, is what is great about human nature. Keep smiling! Love, Rx

Well, we all knew you were going to do something amazing and those kids' faces say it all. What a powerful experience and it's great to be able to share it with you - I'm very impressed with this blog, compulsive reading! It definitely sounds as though the required 'sense of humour' and 'tolerance of uncertainty' qualities are being put to the test ... Lizx

I always said you were a natural. Look how they children love you. You're perfect for the job.

Great pictures Hazel. They give us some idea of what you are up to. A bit of a contrast to Oxford. Love Mum.X
