As a former member of Blur, Alex James is one of the UK's most famous farmers.  He will be helping Christain Aid to re-create a small piece of Burkina Faso, West Africa, at the Royal Show in Stoneleigh Park on the 3-6th July to showcase how farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are adapting to the devastating effects of an increasingly unpredictable climate.

Do Some Good Now - Help Us Do Good! on Squidoo

We'€™re building these really cool eco-urban homes, and we decided that the homes in this community (which we'€™re calling Good) would equip villagers in Burkina Faso, West Africa to build their own homes. These impoverished people need empowerment (not welfare)... and you can help.

Do Some Good Now
(via www.dosomegoodnow.com)
For every 100,000 visitors between now and July 1st, we’ll fund the complete training of a local Burkina Faso mason to build houses for families that need them.
We’re going to fund up to 20 masons (for now).
