Bloggees have asked if there is an easy way of contributing to Cerebral Palsy Africa on line. The answer is a resounding Yes-visit : http://cpafrica.workwithus.org/ and you will see what I mean. It is hard to visualise this from the Merse even on a glorious neo-Spring day like to day with the skylarks singing away (according to the wife), *but as we post ,two Zambian Physios are in South Africa at CPS's expense undertaking an eight week course to upgrade their skills to enable them to provide a better service to disabled children back home in Zambia. This has made a big hole in our finances and we have a number of applications to funding agencies out at the moment-we have been fortunate in obtaining a couple of generous grants but on the whole it is a very uphill struggle to raise big bucks on the scale we need for CPA's work. Lots of funders are keen on Africa but children with CP are seemingly at or near the bottom of their priorities. But every little as well as big, helps and we are therefore very grateful to local individuals and organisations for their generous help usually as a result of the wife's presentations to them. Donations will be mentioned on this website and there is more information on www.cerebralpalsyafrica.org
