It is amazing to have instant reminders of the problems currently facing Africa. I had my temperature taken at Bahir Dar airport, testing for Ebola, and then when I opened a bedroom drawer it contained 20 condoms as HIV hasn’t yet gone away.

I had my first meal of injera. It is made from fermented teff flour. If you google Teff, you will see it has superfood qualities. The injera was wrapped around a delicious concoction of onion, pepper and spices … cost about £1!!

I saw my first taste of activity at 6:30 this morning. An group from a local school that integrates hearing impaired and non-disabled young people. What I saw was really encouraging as there was a lot of integration, as well as some appropriate separation, a nice example of Ken Black’s inclusion spectrum. It was also good to chat with the local coordinator and a teacher from the school.
