My friend Simon is crowd sourcing funds to build a bore hole, that will help provide clean water to the Amoyo community he works with in Kenya. 

He’s just set off on a 500 mile sponsored walk, following the Camino de Santiago Trail, from the Pyrenees in France to Galicia. You can sponsor his trip on IndieGoGo.

I can’t say I was overwhelmed with excitement about this photo session. Jua Kali translates as ‘hot sun’, and the afternoon lived up to that name.

I’m helping put together a tasteful calendar of Jua Kali artisans to help raise money for a training programme which will help train artisans to build small-scale renewable energy technologies. We think it’s an exciting idea. If you would like to buy a calendar, head over to indiegogo.com/accessenergy - hit contribute and choose the calendar.
