      Hi! I’m not going to Africa myself (sadly!) I asked my colleagues in Cape Town what they would like to spend the money on and they said they would love to support some school kids to perform a play they had made based on a comic of our work at a local shopping mall. The “I’m a scientist” rules are that the money has to be spent on “engaging students in science” so whether in the UK or Africa it would have to be on something like that!! I thought the play was a great idea!!
