NEWS FROM PAX

March 17th, 2007

Pax, the central character in The Bicycle, has sent me good news via his son, John.

John is back at a computer and e-mailable now that he’s returned to university in town for his last semester studying engineering (this year he’s looking at soil stabilization).

“Pax has now been fully been employed with Diginitas International,” John writes. “This is good to our family and many others. He himself is over the moon as this is a sign of his committal both to the society and Diginitas as an organization.”

And remember the bicycle-ambulance that Pax was talking about?

John reports that Pax’s group of volunteers “Now has two bicycle ambulances [one from Diginitas and the other from Self Help International.] In fact much is happening, and if this will continue then Pax’s volunteer group will one day cover the whole district of Zomba.”

I’m over the moon about all this too.
