A brilliant Flickr slideshow of a 700 mile walk ’round The Gambia, courtesy of Florio and Jones – the Short Walk in the Gambian Bush team. You can see more about the excellent causes the project was created to support, and about the walk, here, and on the guys’ Adventure Travel Blogs site.

No probs – they’re ace images!
I have been supporting a family in Gambia to survive through their poverty. The eldest son Lesta did well at high school. As I paid for his eduction, ,both Lesta and myself want him to use this education to better himself. I would like to get him into England to train as a photographer
[my profession, now retired, if photographers ever do] Have you any thoughts or suggestions as to how I can arrange to get him over here to train… ie visa. There is no way he can just beg daily for food for the family..he is far too well educated to remain like that….Any help or advice would be more than welcome.
I have set Lesta up as a taxi and guide, but this is not his future…he has to use his brain
Please see his website
http://www.gambia-sight-seeing then see Lesta.
Many Thanks
