I heard Baroness Amos on Radio 4 this morning. She's in Mali on behalf of the government to find out what conditions are like there at the moment, with the Islamist rebels in the north and drought conditions elsewhere in the country.
Two Towns One World has set up a Timbuktu Forum at The Swan on 12th September, starting at 7pm, for all the groups and individuals who are interested in supporting or learning more about Hay's twin town, which is in the middle of all the trouble.
Fund raising has been going on around Hay to help the people of Timbuktu since the trouble started there earlier this year.
According to the Hereford Times, the person to contact about this is Anne Hillyer on 07969 309001.
