Josie Kaye, an ex-student of Nottingham University recently returned from Togo, will be giving a presentation on the current status of the project.

The plans are in the early stages at the moment, but the rough idea is to build a link between Nottingham and the community of Nyitoe-Zukpé where the project will be based. The two communities will then work together to fundraise, design and build the hospital.

Thornborough Henges by Moth
Applying for planning permission from the local authority can be one of the most stressful things that you can do.
