A brief news item I recently wrote has been printed in Land Rover Owner International Magazine (the world's best selling Land Rover magazine). Here's kind of what I said (after the PR guys and the editors had re-worded it): "Mercy Ships, the charity that provides medical care and humanitarian services to the people of Africa, is looking for spare parts for 300 Tdi Defenders, as well as volunteer mechanics to help its vital work on the world's largest charity hospital ship, the Africa Mercy...which embarked on a ten-month outreach in Benin this February to provide vital surgeries that will save thousands of lives. The outreach project was (is?) supported by a fleet of 21 Land Rovers run by Olly Peet, the charity's transportation manager. Peet said "our medical crew and construction teams rely heavily on our Defenders for driving deep into the bush. It is a challenge keeping the Land Rovers in good working order with limited spare parts, when they're continually being damaged by some of the worst roads in the world"...For full article and a photo see page 16 of the June LRO magazine, available at all good newsagents, out now!

Today is the Day of the African Child. God bless you all as you make a difference to so many children. And a big hug to Libby, our very own African child (well, your very own child, but you know what I mean!!!)
