Good news re locust situation

I just noticed on Keith Smith's blog that the World Bank has approved $60m to fight against future locust invasions in the Sahel. This provides real hope for the area.

Meanwhile, our fundraising continues for the current famine in the north of Burkina Faso. To all those who have already given, a massive THANK YOU.

As you know, I will return to Burkina Faso on 7 January. Every two weeks I will post updates on the famine relief effort, including photos and stories, so that those who are contributing can see how their money is being spent. Just bookmark the above link and check back occasionally.
