Hey!

Mexico was so amazing! I did so many videos -Taking me ages to edit – they will be up soon!

I learnt so much about how it s possible to empower people who have little resources – not to be dependent on you or your schemes or projects – but how to empower people to help themselves out of poverty. It was really amazing to see in practice! I was really challenged about my own mind-sets and about how much we take for granted in the UK – health service, social welfare, communication, education…. the list goes on.  We really don’t know what we’ve got! I have been to some countries of similar economic status – with huge wealth gaps – but, somehow, it hit me more this time – maybe I’m a bit more aware in my old age!!!

The Armonia charity’s founders; Saul and Pilar Cruz, have taught me so much – they have really given their whole lives over to to creating social justice – not just with their money, intellect, contacts, education… but with most of the hours of every day – practically showing that they 100% care for people that are suffering injustice in Mexico. I know it sounds woolly but it is really true.

I’ve got soooooo much more to write…. and will add thoughts to my blog as I continue to process what just happened over the last 15 days!!

We’re on our way to Glastonbury now… our good old Orange roaming dongle means we can be on the internet in the car!! If you’re at Glastonbury, I will be performing at The Elemental venue – opposite the Jazz World Stage. Pop in to get the gig schedule…. I should know definate times for tomorrow

Hope you’re doing well!!

Much love,
