Worked so much today!

I worked and worked and worked and worked.

At noon we had a meeting with EIGHT potential new African team members and one new American team member. Everyone had been a part of Power Africa. There are a few ideas for ways we could get them work. These people were all incredible, with extraordinary experience, the meeting was amazing, we are all thrilled. 

We will put together a great proposal that lists every one of them that chooses to be part of it.

Then I went to the Africa Bureau goodbye picnic and it was not sad. It was not depressing. I ran into someone, right next to my car, that I’ve been wanting to run into for ages and she agreed to help me with yet another idea I want to pursue for the business. She was the head of the Africa Bureau, the person who was in a school in Zambia as a child and got food marked From the American People. She is the person in the middle in this picture.

In the extra, the nice leader of the training who liked my business idea so much that he bought a t-shirt, is wearing it! 

The teeny tree that I worried might die? It has lost all of its leaves but it has new buds, I think it will make it. 

For the third year running the group - Malmesbury Stands with Ukraine - organised the Ivana Kupala festival in the grounds of Malmesbury Abbey. This is in England and the ask this year was to not forget Ukraine. 
“An MP who is taking an ambulance to Ukraine has said she is "honoured" to contribute towards humanitarian efforts in the country.
Labour MP for North Warwickshire and Bedworth, Rachel Taylor, is set to take on the 1,300-mile drive from Birch Coppice to the Poland-Ukraine border.
The ambulance has been paid for by fundraising by an automotive parts firm, based in her constituency.”
