Bill Gates (following the example of Michelle Obama?) gave a talk to students at a school in South London this week.
I was heartened to read that, in addition to fighting childhood mortality, the Gates Foundation also supports agricultural research – & that he especially mentioned cassava.
Another interesting snippet – the visit was arranged by Speakers for Schools, a charity set up by the BBC’s Robert Peston. With this kind of clout, no wonder he gets so many scoops.
