I was born and grew up in Lesotho, but now live in UK. Great to see people care about Lesotho as many people don't even seem to know such a place exists. Thank for all the help and support you provide over there, they can raelly do with some. Clad that you find the experience enjoyable too - it's a great country don't you think?

I lived in Mohale's Hoek for a few years in the late 1970s and have been trying to reconnect with Bill Herbert whom I believe still lives in the area. If you know him, I would appreciate if you could pass on my email address and ask him to contact me. Thanks a lot.Ron Dalgliesh

Physician, I spent 2 months in Mokhotlong this spring getting the HIV clinic up and running at the district hospital. They face a huge uphill struggle, but the nurses are very dedicated.

Kate - Miami
Hello Meg. So glad you are enjoying Lesotho despite the cold winter. I went there for three months in 1969 and stayed for thirty years so beware - it has a way of creeping up on you! I hope you get to visit Mohales Hoek sometime. Find Bill Herbert and tell him I sent you. Khotso, Pula, Nala - Kate Fagalde
