Will Randall
travels with a purpose, as well as an outrageous sense of fortune.
In INDIAN SUMMER he found himself, by chance, having the extraordinary
experience of helping slum schoolchildren put on a play to help
save their school. In Botswana he was taken up by a headmaster to
teach a class of six year olds at The River of Life School. They
are football crazy and one of Will's jobs is to take them to play
neighbouring (sometimes as much as 100 miles away) schools. Camping
enroute or staying in farms and rural villages, often travelling
by foot or dug-out punts, thousands of antelope, elephant, buffalo
and zebra follow their progress. The sound of lions, leopards and
hyenas become the soundtrack of their dreams. Against all the odds
they find themselves preparing for the Grand Final of the season
- the titanic clash with arch rivals, Victo ria Falls Primary school.
