Miscellaneous: If you’re planning to venture outside the coastal tourist areas and head inland then it’s a very good idea to take cheap gifts for the children you will meet. Before we went I visited Wilkinsons (am I allowed to name drop like that? Oh, well!) and picked up a whole load of crayons for 12p per pack, exercise books for 39p each and huge tubs of pens and pencils for next to nothing. If I had bought all that locally rather than bringing it over from England it would have cost me a fortune, and the gifts were very much appreciated by the children. Clothing is appreciated too, in certain circumstance. I gave my pashmina to one woman who took a shine to it. Jonathan said I should have taken my VT T-Shirt so that a little of VT could have stayed in rural Africa, but I had left it in my bag and didn’t think until we had left the village.
