Day 1: Mosquito bites, G&Ts and beehives

Judith is one of nine senior women from the UK food industry taking part in Farm Africa's Big Beehive Build

Mosquito bites: 3, gin and tonics: 1 (disappointingly, although it was a very large one because Rachel Griffiths poured it), embarrassing and noisy toilet moments: 0 (so far, so good), beehives left to build: 90

We finally made it to Babati and it’s a long way from home, not just geographically but in so many other ways.

But it is surprising how much women, wherever they are in the world, have so much in common. We all want the best for our children, we want them to be fit, healthy, happy and to have a good education.

Hopefully the Big Beehive Build will produce the honey that will provide the income for these women to do exactly that. Please support us in raising money.
