The antidote to the exploitation involved in International Aid: small scale projects set up and run by local people. A friendship formed on a visit to Mauritania led to the establishment of an irrigation project after 3 years of almost no rain. This is not sanitised Tourist Africa but real life led on the edge of survival as Hudson and the people learn from each other. A challenge to us all as we continue to negatively affect the climate.
