Our first projects launched in 2013 With Zimlink, Inphotopia with great success followed by Lawilink and Uprise Albinism in 2015 and London to Freetown in 2019/20. With the recent changes in the world, we now have an opportunity to build a strong foundation in cities, towns and villages across Africa. African Nations have all the skills, resources and vision to shape global communities. VAfrica offers a unique opportunity in the form of; Training open to all socio-economic groups, Online magazines that promote Ideas and creativity. VAfrica can create links and improve upon existing structures between NGO’s, grass roots organisations, Business and government.
In 2015 VAfrica set up an organisation in Malawi Lawilink in an 18-month period Lawilink operated southern region of Malawi through University student volunteers (Blantyre polytechnic) also the community volunteers from Ndirande, Pholombe & the surrounding areas. Creating partnerships between the private sector government and NGOs in the UK, Malawi & Zimbabwe. This project was funded at cost of £105,000.00 with a £30,000.00 return. Lawilink generated new employment opportunities, contributed to government policy, supported the set of new business/organisations and conducted virous educational/training programs. VAfrica with cross party support from the governments of the UK and the participating African nations will raise funds to create hub’s across Africa, using the experience’s we gained on the model’s created in the UK, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
In 2019 VAfrica launched “London to Freetown” connecting artists across the world with North West Africa, driving from London England to Freetown Sierra Leone. Linking artists, poets and creatives from the north west coast of Africa to creatives around the world. promoting art and culture between North West Africa; Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone and UK, forming on going links with creatives.
VAfrica works together with African Union nations and the African Economic communities; AMU, CEN-SAD, COMESA, EAC, ECCAS, ECOWAS, IGAD and SADC. To facilitate cultural awareness and socio-economic opportunities and platforms for free thinkers and creatives. Africa is the 2nd Largest continent on the planet, with an area: 30.37 million km², 20 percent of the worlds land mass is Africa. A population of 1.216 billion (2016). Yet in March 2013, Africa was identified as the world's poorest inhabited continent: Africa's entire combined GDP is barely a third of the United States' GDP with a GDP of $2.6 trillion (Nominal) in 2019. Ranking Africa 5th in out of 7 continents in GDP. Although Africa supplies its skilled labor and raw materials to fuel the Global economies. Vafrica will address this imbalance to training, support and implementation of sustainable business/organisations.
VAfrica gives opportunities to all, there is a need for the world to be at peace with Africa at its heart. So much of Africa’s history has been pushed to one side and subverted. As we travel and build the VAfrica program's one of the objectives is to record the stories music poems before they are lost, to tell the stories the world is missing.

At Victoria Station, London, 1974. I thought she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. Not sure about that now.
About 1/8th sec, with the camera braced against a pillar.
This seems to be the last real remains of my brother's tree fort. Considering it was built and abandoned over 15 years ago, I'm impressed even this remains. This was the platform that was on the third story. How it is standing and arranged is how I found it when I arrived.
The High Platform houses is located in kashgar of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. The pottery workshops on the High Platform have kept the original look of four to five hundred years ago. The craftsmanship and finished products remain unchanged. The potter-makers who look calm and composed as if they looked like this one hundred year ago working in the same posture as before.
Taken from near the centre of platform 1.

Mayfield station was built alongside Piccadilly in 1910 to handle the ever increasing number of trains using the station. A short viaduct diverts away from the Piccadilly line into the terminus at Mayfield which was mainly used by suburban services to the south such as Buxton, Crewe and Macclesfield.
In the late 50s, it was used as an overspill during electrification and modernisation work at Piccadilly Station. When work was complete all trains used Piccadilly and Mayfield closed for good.
It was converted into a parcels depot in 1970 when Royal Mail constructed a sorting office on St Andrews street on the far side of Piccadilly. An overhead conveyor bridge connected the two buildings. The parcels depot was closed in 1986; Mayfield has stood silent ever since.
A platform built on one side of the Sint Janskathedraal (Saint John's cathedral) in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). The platform is for the 'Wonderlijke Klim' (wondrous climb) giving visitors what might be a once in a lifetime oppurtunity to see the 96 unique sculptures on the flying butresses of the Sint Janskathedraal in (saint John's cathedral) in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). The Sint Jan is only one of four cathedrals in the world to have such sculptures. Instead of saints or angels, they depict monsters and common city people, from the architects and masons who worked on the cathedral, to beggars and musicians.
The 'wonderlijke klim' exhibition coincides with the grand Jheronymous Bosch exhibition at the Noord-Brabants Museum in Den Bosch, celebrating the 500th anniversary of the painter's death. Like the paintings of Bosch, the sculptures on the cathedral butresses are from the late middle ages, and depict monsters and common folk, which was a new theme in art at that time. Art from the early and high middle ages often depicted saints, angels and biblical scenes, but certainly not the common workfolk or even beggars. To have them adorning the outside of the cathedral no less, is very unique, and something that could only have been concieved in that particular time and place. Apparently, Jheronymous Bosch personally knew the artist very well who designed these sculptures.
It's London Underground's 150th Birthday, and they're going to town with the celebrations! The first part of the 'tube' opened on to the public on 10th January 1863, and exactly 150 years later a set of six Victorian carriages stand at Edgware Road.
Gainsborough Central, Lincolnshire. I have a photo taken from this spot in 1971 when the rather special station buildings were in place. It's not my copyright so I can't really post that one, unfortunately.
Leighton Buzzard railway station early in 1988. The platforms are being extended to accommodate 12 car trains.

the platform sign was in japanese, and it would flip briefly over to english every 30 seconds or so. the bullet trains are all the same speed, but separated into classes by the number of stops they make. kodama makes the most stops, hikari is next, and nozomi makes the fewest stops.
This rotating platform was designed and manufactured by Handling Specialty for use in a hi-tech wind tunnel system at an automotive manufacturer.
It is mounted in a pit so that vehicles can be driven onto a platform. The
platform rotates 90°, positioning the automobile in the wind tunnel to an accuracy of 0.005” with no deflection.

Part of Platform 8 at the new Reading Station.
A few problems are coming to light as work continues.Anybody arriving at the escalators in the background sees the notice proclaiming that baggage can't be carried,so anyone with a suitcase (at a railway station) is diverted to the lifts.
Platforms,from the entrance,have numbers,but on arrival at the right numbered platform it is seen that the numbered ones are subdivided yet again to A or B etc,the difference being a long walk which to those with difficulties is considerable.Tickets are issued online for services that connect here with minimal times to get across station,so the unwary who find themselves on the tail end of one train,have to seek out a particular carriage for a reserved seat on the next train which may be at the front or rear.
The new station is modern and has plenty of space.When the whole rebuilding has finished I'm sure that Tilehurst will be at the end of an as yet unnumbered platform.
