The BBC are running a series of audio documentaries entitled ‘Tales from the
Commonwealth.’
In this four-part series, broadcasters from Guyana, Mozambique, St Lucia and Papua New Guinea show us round their country’s capitals, introduce us to local personalities, and talk about the issues they feel most strongly about.
Check them out here.







Pretty happy to learn that the BBC is running a series of documentaries using Robin White a veteran broadcaster. Wonderful learning about the Commonwealth countries clearly with people speaking rom their hearts. Want more of this.

it is quiet disapointing that most governments in Africa do not consider environment as very important. well i do agree that with development, the environment can not go with out any kind of degradation, but i think there are various forms of development which can be used not only to cater for present generations, but also the future generations. though there is a saying that Afrcans are poor, some times i do not agree with such statements. what i can say is there is unequal distribution of resources.
therefore there is need to fight this disease.
It will be wonderfull for students and teachers.Of it will be better for mothers.
