I highly recommend reading Stuart's blog on aid this week, written in Tanzania following his journey in recent weeks through Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC. If you want to use this blog as a springboard for discussion, then there are a number of resources available for you to use, linked to the Beyond the Bike adventure.
