The story of my Madagascar adventure - how a trip to the theatre 2 days
after I came out of hospital in January 2010, led to being thwarted by a
volcano in April and a trip to face giant, huge and enormous spiders, a
police mutiny, being attacked by a leech, broken down trucks and crying with
sadness at the plight of so many - and in doing so helping people living in
extreme poverty in one of the poorest countries of the world.
