About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

i hate these things - i think everyone thinks differently about me. erm anyway, i guess i'm pretty friendly. i like drinking tea and cycling, meeting people and sharing things. I'm a doctor but ceratinly not typical and am taking a slightly alternative career path, i just did a masters in anthropology and now am working in deepest darkest Zululand...

PHILOSOPHY

one person can make a difference
