Every year I make a trip to East Africa specifically for an annual meeting with
Ethnic Supplies producers. Last year prior to my visit to Tanzania I asked
fellow Ecamedists over in the ASK LINDA group whether they had specific
questions they wanted me to put to the women whilst I was out there!
I compiled their questions into a questionnaire and the women and I worked
our way through them. I found this exercise really useful because in answering
those questions I learned a great more about their lives. I also felt a renewed sense
or purpose and determination to promote their work.
I am off to Rwanda and Uganda shortly and would like to repeat that same exercise
I only began working with women in Rwanda earlier this year, and will be meeting them
for the first time. I am nervous about this believe it or not.
If you have any burning questions regarding my work, life in Rwanda or Uganda
What would you like to know?

including meat, this was a statement made by Ken Clarke on BBC Radio 4's ANY QUESTIONS dated 30/10/09 Listen at 40 minutes.
A question was put to the panel by a member of the audience as a result of Lord Stern's report regarding climate change The Times has quoted Lord Stern as advocating for a vegetarian diet due to the level of carbon is produced during the production of meat, as well as the amount of water that goes into meat production. This issue was raised as part of George Alagiah's programme the FUTURE OF FOOD .
