Comments on: Africa Commission http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2004/02/26/272 Every day the Prime Minister's Spokesman meets a small coterie of political journalists known as 'the lobby' for a topical chat, or 'briefing'.

We have already funded the building of 11 new bridges in the town, and are looking for support to fund a community centre. We are a UK based charity, made up of members from the town of Hastings interested in helping develop our namesake. Our committee includes members from Sierra Leone, and we have close links with the community there. One of our members in SL owns a piece of land which she would like to donate to the town to build a Post Office/community centre, so we're already on the way. Can you point me towards some interested funders? Thanks very much. ps Bono's speech was a blinder!!
