A big thankyou to David Leeming for encouraging me to do the site myself, providing the software, and fielding the numerous silly questions that crop up when someone completely computer illiterate decides to build a website from the ground up. You can check out the amazing rural email and internet project David is working on at www.peoplefirst.net.sb

An equally big thankyou to Warren Howell for providing the hardware and ongoing support, without which the site would have been contracted out and the on-location interest and relevancy lost.

this is very much a work in progress - look out for new and updated pages and content
