New baby Morocco
I'm often flattered to be invited into the homes of my Moroccan neighbours to celebrate whatever it is they're celebrating and to join in with the singing, dancing and couscous eating! This particular occasion was to celebrate the birth of a child. I heard the drum from the street, and followed the music as I have learnt to do and found myself welcomed in with open arms - especially if I'm prepared to dance! The women seem to have endless energy, dancing for 5 hours, on the drum, on the tiled floor, on the chairs..... everywhere! They seem to enjoy a greater freedom when the men are elsewhere....

The world’s poor spends a staggering US$ 40 billion annually for their energy needs. This equals 10 to 25% of their precarious monthly household budgets on dirty fuels like kerosene. Many remote villages in tribal India are still without electricity. Just £15.00 buys a solar light which will give a family more than enough good light on a daily basis when fully charged. Women can continue with their work, without the toxic hazard of burning kerosene and more importantly children can study into the evening without damaging their eye sight. Whenever I am given a charity donation my first thought is which village needs solar lights!
