Finally: last Friday, at the Surprising Africa event during the Picnic multimedia conference in Amsterdam, The Butterfly Paper N°1 was launched. This beautifully designed book, which I spent most of last year writing, researches an inspiring, innovative approach to 'development work', as taken by Butterfly Works, one of my favourite organisations. |

During my ‘honey trip’ to Ngaoundal in the Adamaoua  province, Paul the honey merchant took me to Tekel, a village near Ngaoundal. There, we accompanied two local bee-farmers on a harvesting trip through the forest – in the middle of the night, so the bees would be asleep! With only the light of our torches and flashes of lightning, we picked our way through the tall trees, in search of the hives. |

The worst aspect of slum life, however, is the insecurity: at any moment, you may be evicted or your house may be destroyed. |
