Third World Twin

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

To the average citizen of Leamington Spa, the name Bo probably does not mean very much. Yet Bo is the African town with which Leamington Spa is twinned.
This is not an official twinning: Third World twinning is organised by well-meaning individuals hoping to do some good for their less fortunate counterparts. There are now perhaps a dozen of these links between British towns and places in the Third World.
But how much do they know of the people and the places they are trying to help? Are all their efforts worthwhile? Anne Brown went to Sierra
Leone in West Africa to try to find out the reactions of the people of Bo.
