I am very sorry I did not get time to return to your office and I hope you received the email I sent in apology. The blog I wrote was very well received by the people at Plan Australia and they have added it to their website, journal and in the intranet which promotes it all around the world, so others are picking up on it. Thanks again to you, Amadou, Denis and all at Plan Cameroon. You really made us feel very welcome. Best wishes, Kate Dear Chrispus,

I also want to think you tried joining me but could not because we were in a meeting. Hope you found your stay and visit to our projects in the East very memorable. I have enjoyed the article relating to this. Have you already concluded the ride? Wish you well and hope we be intouch again and more regularly to learn about the outcome of this aventure. Congratulation for this initiative, and I am sure people will believe you more than anything reading they can make from authors who have not done and seen things first hand. Wish you courage and abundant blessings. Ndamo Chrispus Plan Cameroon Dear Kate,

I also agree hat there are many similarities between many of the Aboriginal issues and the Baka. I learned a lot about these during my Australian expedition (see my book Out There and Back) Best regards, Kate Hi Robyn,

The info about Plan Cameroon is very interesting and seems similar to our own aboriginal communities here in Australia. So much to learn from them but as they become more westernized, so much to teach them.Assisting them to adapt to a sedentary lifestyle seems a repeat of what happens to our own indigenous people. I hope they make the transition more successfully than some of our own efforts. My heart goes out to those women and their families who have been displaced and lost their children because of violence and disgruntled rebels. Keep up the great work. We are thoroughly enjoying your journey. Hi Kate and team, I am a teacher at Barwon Heads PS Victoria, following your journey with my class and John BUrdess the other teacher in our grade 6.

Im Darcy and I am a grade 6 student at Barwon Heads Primary but I did this message at home. I would like to know if you have any pain in your legs when you are riding. Do you have to ride in the sand a lot or not much. I think it is great what you are doing. Keep on going and good luck. Best Wishes, Darcy Hi Kate,
