Lizzy with fellow campaigners. Join them on 5 December.

My boyfriend has a tattoo of a wave on his arm. He acquired it for free from a guy called Tattoo Lou. Now, I’m far too unromantic to dream about a matching tattoo, but an upcoming event in Dublin has me thinking of waves and tattoos.

Unheard Voices: Marginal farmers in Zambia’s Western Province
