We were the lowest people in Africa. Minus 123m in Ethiopia's Danakil Depression. Mount Kenya was tamed with a bunch of rabble rousers and only We were the highest peoplein Africa. Uganda's Margherita Peak (5109m). I know what you're thinking - we could actually see Kilimanjaro from the top and nobody was on top so it must go down in the record books. We've been across Africa's largest lake and we met a man who owns one ofthe oldest dogsin the world. I saw a photo ofthe dog and it's very convincing. The mightiest ofthe greatapes havebeen tracked and reckoned. I think they liked us.
We're pushing 20 000km on some of Africa's finest public transport and our cause for The Key School is now as urgentas ever. Sing it from the rooftops, turn your wealthy relatives upside down and shake them for all the loos change they are worth. And let no person say your contribution in this great ocean is but a drop. For what is it, if not a multitude of potent, single droplets!
Over and Up!
