Just listened to a BBC World Service story about a young man, Joseph Banda, from the outskirts of Lusaka in Zambia. The Beeb had done a story on him in September, where he described his home town, the drunks, drugs, etc etc, and also talked about wanting to become a pilot.
Tonight's program was a follow up, where listeners had stepped forward offering to help him, and one Edmund Farmer took him up for a flying lesson...
Great to hear such a heartwarming story, big thumbs up to Mr Farmer.
If anyone knows him, or knows Joseph Banda, I have emailed the BBC World Service, asking them to contact Joseph to pass on info on EAA, and the Young Eagles program.
