On a recent holiday to South Africa, Comic Relief Digital Designer, Paul, visited the Imbiza Project, which we fund, in the Kanana Township, near Orkney. Here, a group of nurses and volunteers provide home-based care for a population heavily affected by AIDS. They also provide pre-school care and meals for orphaned children and those whose families are affected by AIDS. Happily, during his visit, Paul helped them set up a computer, which had been donated, but they had not been able to get working, and gave them a crash course in basic computer skills. A busman’s holiday for Paul and a very happy Imbiza Project to boot!

Last week, Comic Relief Research and Communications Officer, Himaya, visited Splitz Support Services, a project that helps teenagers who have been affected by domestic violence. Comic Relief funds their KidzPace project, which ensures that teenagers have a safe place to go, where they can discuss their worries with people who’ve had similar experiences. Himaya was inspired by talking to two girls who told her their lives have been transformed by the KidzPace Project which has helped them to feel less isolated and much more confident.

Mum! Mum! Can I lick the bowl? No dear, just flush it like everyone else. Toilet humour abounded last week thanks to World Toilet Day, a celebration that dates back to 1792, when the first regularly flushing toilet was patented. We also discovered that the average person uses the loo 2,500 times a year and spends three years on the toilet during their lifetime. As well as being a bit of fun, The World Toilet Organisation hopes the day highlights the more serious concern that 2.6 billion people worldwide still don’t have access to adequate sanitation.
