Leela's niece Barbara Mundweil has kindly translated one of the stories in FRESH BEGINNINGS into German so that it could be sent to the old friend who gave much of the information in it to Leela. It's called THE MATCH, and tells the story of how a German teenager went to stay with an English family shortly after the Second World War - a tale of bitter prejudice in some and unconditional love in others, of the bafflling rules of English cricket and the surprising food that English people had access to. If you'd like to read the story in German, contact Leela.
Reuben Dutch, the film maker and architectural designer, has filmed Leela reading her work for her YouTube channel. To see her reading a story from FRESH BEGINNINGS click here.

We have NEWS of a publication online by the Council for Research in Values and Philosophy called Philosophical Responses to Global Challenges - with African examples.
You can download the whole book - I did, but I couldn't copy the link here for some reason. Robin has a chapter in it which he previously published in Utafiti, entitiled Africa and Climate Change, on page 161. The editors are Workineh Kelbessa and Tenna Dewo. The whole book looks well worth a read.
