"Welsh gold and African diamonds”…the arch of a rainbow

Cheesy? Perhaps. Poetic? Most definitely. True? I believe so.

My name is Beca Lewis Jones and I am the Project Officer for Mzansi Cymru. Let me explain; I never go anywhere without a notebook and pencil case (my notebook is known in the office as The Bible and my pencil case is overflowing), I write 50 emails a day and receive 10, I am addicted to meetings, I am never far from a kettle and the boot of my car is full of props for school workshops.

Wales goes to South Africa

I am standing in the middle of a circus tent, smack in the middle of Cape Town, circled by the elevated ring road and shadowed by the omni presence of Table Mountain. This massive marquee dome is the home of Zip Zap Circus - well home for another two years until the developers move in and move Zip Zap out.
