Westerman Flat by JOHN KIRKMORRIS with Alan Debic as Strutt Frances Jeater as Nora Simon Callow as Foster and Stephen Thorne as the Radio Announcer For Strutt life in the cities is dead: the economic crisis that is already overtaking us makes it imperative for man to return to the land and to live by what he can grow.

Andrew Knight is a young nurse and one of the 130 British volunteers that the agency Voluntary Service Overseas has currently serving in East Africa. In Kenya their work ranges from family health to fish farming; in Tanzania from language teaching to land assessment. What value to a developing country is this short-term injection of British manpower? And, in the long run, who gains most from the scheme?
Mike Wooldridge , a volunteer himself in the 1960s, returns to East Africa to report on the present Vio contribution.
