Stephen Davies school visits
Meeting an author can increase children's interest in books, help them understand how books are produced and boost the confidence of any aspiring writers.
Starting this September (and for one year only!) I will be available for school visits in the UK, both primary and secondary. If this is of interest, details can be found on the page Stephen Davies children's author over at the 'Contact an Author' website.

Studio Progress
I got back to Djibo yesterday, with David and Robert who are here as part of a gap year programme. Great to have them here, especially in the absence of Charlie, who has stayed in Chichester.
We've just been along to the radio studio to have a look - some real progress has been made. The roof is on, the door and window frames are in and all major wiring is in place.
As it happened, there was a praise party in progress inside the studio when we visited! There was a real sense of joy. Here are a few photos:
Although we're happy with the progress, there remains a lot of work to do. We need to buy two air conditioners to protect the equipment, make workstations for the 'cabine technique', buy chairs and tables, paint the walls cream, and find a solution for sound proofing it all.
